Canterbury, United Kingdom Canterbury City Council Full time

WHITSTABLE HARBOUR
APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT BOARD MEMBER

Whitstable Harbour lies at the heart of the historic north Kent town of Whitstable, overlooking the Thames Estuary. The Harbour Board was set up by Canterbury City Council in 2003 to deliver a strategy for developing the harbour as a self-contained operation offering high quality port marine commercial and leisure facilities.

The Harbour Board, which has been acknowledged by the UK Department for Transport as a model of best practice, comprises both elected councillors and co-opted independent members.

Whitstable Harbour is a working port. Primary cargo imports comprise stone and aggregates. The harbour also supports an active commercial fishing fleet. In recent years an increasing number of leisure uses have become established to complement the commercial activities with the new and exciting South Quay Shed redevelopment opening in May this year. This combination has provided a vibrant focus in the town for both businesses and visitors.

Under the direction of the Harbour Board the harbour is self-financing.

Applicants must have an interest in public service and be committed to developing the harbour as a financially self-supporting operation while balancing potentially conflicting demands.

Skills in the maritime/harbour sector, tourism/leisure/retail or finance and a knowledge of Whitstable will be particularly welcome. There are around five board meetings a year together with occasional working groups as required.

The position is unremunerated although board members receive a modest allowance and appropriate expenses will be reimbursed.

Closing date: 13th January 2023
Interviews: 23rd January 2023
