WHAT SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE ARE REQUIRED?

College governors are expected to share their knowledge, ideas and enthusiasm within a forum of like-minded individuals. There isn’t one type of person best suited to becoming a governor and you don’t need a qualification to do so. But in deciding to apply ask yourself the following questions:

• As a Board member, can I put aside personal interest and make decisions for the good of the College as a whole, respecting confidentiality and sharing collective responsibility?

• Do I understand and accept the “Standards of behaviour for those in public life”?

  (Selflessness, Integrity, Objectivity, Accountability, Openness, Honesty and Leadership)

• Am I able to put in time to attend meetings, to read the papers beforehand and to contribute to discussions?

The College wishes the membership of the Board to encompass a wide variety of experience and cultural backgrounds. We would particularly welcome applications from people with skills or expertise in Accountancy or Audit to strengthen our current Board.
Please contact the Clerk if you would like further information about the role – clerk@rhacc.ac.uk
