Candidates must have a proven track record of decision-making at a senior level, in addition to an understanding of boardroom dynamics and the co-operative ownership model. As part of the role, the selected person will act as the chair of the board’s Audit and Risk Committee.

The role requires approximately 20 days annual commitment with remuneration of £9,104 a year.
