The Welsh Government is inviting applications for three individuals to serve as members on the Arts Council of Wales. These individuals will play a key role in helping the Arts Council of Wales to deliver its strategic priorities of promoting a vibrant, diverse and inclusive culture and an arts sector which is sustainable and innovative.

Members of the Council are expected to:

  • Participate and contribute effectively to the Council’s activities, particularly in terms of defining and developing its strategic direction, setting and achieving challenging objectives, and supporting Welsh Government policy;
  • Offer review, scrutiny, challenge and support to the Executive;
  • Promote high standards of propriety in managing public money, and ensure that the Council’s activities are conducted efficiently and effectively, achieving value for money within a framework of best practice, regularity and propriety;
  • Participate in the corporate planning process, including agreeing annual budget plans for operational programmes and corporate activity;

  • Actively participate in work to widen access and create an inclusive Arts sector and organisation in line with the Art’s Council of Wales’ Widening Engagement Action Plan and the Welsh Government’s Anti-racist Wales Action Plan, Action on Disability Framework and the LGBTQ+ Action Plan.

To strengthen and balance the Council Membership and deliver on strategic priorities over the next three years, Members will need to demonstrate the qualities, skills and experience to meet all the essential criteria for appointment: The full person specification and essential criteria are included in the applicants’ information pack.

The appointment will be for an initial term of three years and will require a commitment of 1.5 days a month on Council business and attendance at all Council meetings in varying locations in Wales. These posts are unremunerated although travel and subsistence costs will be reimbursed.

The Welsh Government believes that public bodies should have board members who reflect Welsh society - people from all walks of life - to help them understand people's needs and make better decisions. This is why the Welsh Government is encouraging a wide and diverse range of individuals to apply for appointments to public bodies. Applications are particularly welcome from all under-represented groups including women, people under 30 years of age, members of ethnic minorities, disabled people, lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people. The principles of fair and open competition will apply and appointments will be made on merit.
