About the Role


Do you have the skills to fill this role Read the complete details below, and make your application today.

We are seeking to appoint independent members (non-executive directors and charity trustees) to join our Board of Governors and contribute to our continued growth and success.

The Board of Governors oversees the educational character and mission of the University, with specific responsibilities for the effective use of resources and financial probity. As an Independent Member of the Board of Governors, your values and experience will contribute to the Board's effectiveness and vision, enabling us to build on our past, and protect and enhance our future.

We are looking for candidates who believe they can add value and who have an active interest in higher education and in our further development. Applications would be particularly welcome from candidates with expertise and experience in the following broad areas:

  • Digital
  • Knowledge exchange / commercialisation
  • Marketing / PR / communications / digital media
  • Research
  • People

We believe that an effective board includes, and makes good use of, differences in the skills, expertise, background, race, gender, and other qualities of individual governors.

The role of Governor is a voluntary role, though reasonable travel expenses are reimbursed. As an Independent Governor, held initially for 3 years, you will gain invaluable boardroom skills and experience. We offer a comprehensive induction programme, tailored to you, so that whether you are an experienced trustee or a first-time board member, you will receive the information, support, and opportunities for professional development to reach your full potential.

Meetings are normally held on the third Monday of each month, starting at 17:00. We do not hold formal meetings in vacation periods (April, December, and August). Additionally, members are expected to attend one full-day strategy session, normally in January.
