Edinburgh, United Kingdom Scottish Government Full time

Overview:
**Board Member Appointment: Appointment of Members of the Board of Crown Estate Scotland**

**The appointments are for three years and take effect from June 2024, 1 September 2024 and 1 May 2025**

Scottish Ministers are looking to appoint up to three new Members of the Board of Crown Estate Scotland.

**Crown Estate Scotland**

Crown Estate Scotland’s purpose is ‘investing in property, natural resources and people to generate lasting value for Scotland’. The organisation is at the heart of Scotland’s journey to net zero and has a key role to play in promoting sustainable development across a range of assets and sectors.

Crown Estate Scotland is a self-financing Statutory Public Corporation accountable to the Scottish Ministers and to the Scottish Parliament. It is responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of land and property - called the Scottish Crown Estate - including seabed, coastline, commercial property and rural estates. Revenue profits from the Scottish Crown Estate are transferred to the Scottish Consolidated Fund for public spending and capital profits are reinvested in the Estate.

**Board Role**

Board Members provide active and effective direction, support and guidance to ensure that Crown Estate Scotland delivers effectively and efficiently and in accordance with the aims, policies and priorities of the Scottish Ministers. They provide a strong ‘challenge function’, carefully scrutinising planned and underlying assumptions before decisions are taken. In exercising this function, where necessary, they will provide constructive challenge to other Board Members and senior officers.

Specific roles and responsibilities may vary but, unless otherwise agreed, Board Members will:

- prepare for, and attend, meetings of Crown Estate Scotland and any relevant committees such as the Audit and Risk and Investment Committees;
- contribute to strategic development and decision-making;
- attend other meetings and events on behalf of Crown Estate Scotland (as required);
- collectively establish the overall strategic direction of Crown Estate Scotland within the policy, planning and resources framework determined by Scottish Ministers; and take decisions as set out within Crown Estate Scotland’s Scheme of Delegation;
- assist in the development, approval and monitoring of Crown Estate Scotland’s corporate plans which demonstrate how Crown Estate Scotland contributes to Scottish Government’s National Outcomes;
- establish good partnership working with other organisations and participate in stakeholder groups, discussion forums and open meetings (as required); and
- carry out other tasks that may reasonably be required.

Further detailed information about Crown Estate Scotland and the Board Member role are set out in the Applicant Information Pack.

**Remuneration and time commitment**

Remuneration is £221.42 per day for a time commitment of two days per month. Reasonable expenses incurred will be reimbursed. The appointments are non-pensionable.

The appointments are for three years. One appointment will take effect from June 2024 (date to be confirmed in due course) and one from 1 September 2024. The final appointment will take effect from 1 May 2025.

Skills/Experience Required:
**Skills and Experience**

- experience in one or more of capital projects/investment in assets/property and infrastructure portfolio management;
- knowledge and understanding of the issues faced by Scotland’s rural/coastal/island communities;
- audit experience within a large complex organisation or accounting experience at senior level.
