Independent Governor Vacancies (BGIGV)

The University is looking to recruit individuals with one or more of the following expertise to fill a limited number of vacancies on its Board of Governors:

Board of Governors plays a focal role in the strategic development and overall performance of the University of Lincoln, and membership of the Board offers a rewarding opportunity for individuals to play a key part in enhancing the University’s success and reputation regionally, nationally and internationally, as well as personal development and networking opportunities that this brings.

The Board usually meets six times a year, with one strategic Away Day which is combined with one of the formal meetings. Members are expected to give priority to attendance, and also to attend training and development days. Members of the Board can also join one or more of the Board’s sub-committees (i.e. Audit, Finance, Remuneration). Governors are not paid, but expenses are reimbursed.

To Apply:

The Role Descriptor can be found at the bottom of this vacancy.

Interested individuals should e-mail a covering letter outlining how they feel they meet the criteria in the role descriptor, and a copy of their CV, to governors@lincoln.ac.uk on or before Sunday 6 October 2024. Interviews for shortlisted candidates will be held in late-October/early-November.

The University of Lincoln is an increasingly diverse community of students and staff, and it seeks to reflect that in its Board of Governors. Applications are welcome from individuals of any race, sex, disability, religion, belief, age, or sexual orientation. As part of our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, applications are particularly welcome from individuals from under-represented groups on our Board; women, black, Asian and minority ethnic individuals, LGBTQ+ and disabled candidates.

Please contact Aaron Smith, Secretary to the Board via governors@lincoln.ac.uk to arrange an informal conversation about this opportunity.

Other individuals with an interest in joining the Board of Governors, who may offer the University something exceptional and different, are still encouraged to get in contact.
