London, United Kingdom GUILDHALL SCHOOL OF MUSIC AND DRAMA Full time

Guildhall School of Music & Drama is an internationally recognised learning provider for performing arts, training students of all ages and backgrounds. The School represents a lively community of artists, musicians, actors and production artists. It ranks as one of the top five institutions in the world for Music and Performing Arts in the QS World University Rankings 2024. The School is now seeking to appoint a strategic thinker to their Board as a Co-opted Governor. The appointee will play a crucial role in the governance of the School.

The Co-opted Governor will bring senior leadership experience either in a Higher Education institution, or HE sector body, and will have an outstanding track-record of success in their own field; they will lend their expertise in the sector to the Board, acting as a useful sounding-board and source of wise counsel. Applicants for the post should be familiar with the demands of board-level governance. They will bring a strong understanding of funding and regulations in the UK HE environment and will be able to contribute to discussions about the strategic and financial future of the School. The new Co-opted Governor will be a confident networker, with good ambassadorial qualities, who will work to further the profile of the School. The ideal candidate will have serious sympathy for and understanding of performing arts.

The School’s Board of Governors is made up of a mixture of City of London Corporation Common Council members and Co-opted Governors. There are four board meetings a year, which the new Co-opted Governor will need to attend. The time commitment associated with the office varies according to circumstances, but is expected to average out to approximately 20-25 hours annually.

To apply, please send a cover letter and CV by an email by close of business on Monday 27th January 2025.
