Are you passionate about the welfare of rural communities? Can you help ensure that the rural voice is heard across the country? Our Commissioners have non-executive responsibility for the governance of our organisation, including determining our strategic direction, and also providing impartial input and advice into reports to Government Ministers and to Parliament.
Defra are seeking to appoint three new Commissioners. You must be able to demonstrate knowledge and interest in economic and social issues affecting rural communities. You’ll be familiar with and committed to the principles of public life. We’d welcome applicants who are able to build strong relationships with diverse stakeholders, with business background and/or knowledge of local government. To address the balance of regional representation, applicants from the East of England, East and West Midlands would be particularly welcome but those from elsewhere in England will also be welcomed. The posts are remunerated up to 3.5 days per month. Legitimate travel and other expenses are fully reimbursed.
