UKFIET is looking to appoint up to two new trustees. These opportunities have arisen as current trustees are coming to the end of their term. The job description can be downloaded here.
We are committed to ensuring our trustees are representative of the constituencies we serve and bring a diversity of backgrounds, experiences and skills in international education. We are looking especially for people with financial expertise and / or expertise in charity governance but also interested in people with a broad skill set.
We are keen to ensure that we continue to build a diverse board, especially in relation to ethnicity, sex and age, as well as in relation to other protected characteristics. All trustees are expected to have an interest in the work of UKFIET and some knowledge of our activities. (Applicants from previous years are encouraged to reapply this year.)
See here for more information on UKFIET, our membership, and our current trustees.
Application process
Interested candidates are asked to submit a CV and a 1-page expression of interest outlining the relevant skills and experience they will bring and confirming that they are based in the UK. Please send this to Sarah Jeffery, Programme Manager (s.jeffery@ukfiet.org) by 24 June 2024
If anyone would like to have an informal conversation in advance of expressing interest, please contact Sarah Jeffery (s.jeffery@ukfiet.org) and she will put you in touch with the Chair of the Trustees, Freda Wolfenden to arrange a call.
The trustees will review applications and decide on a shortlist of candidates. The Chair or Deputy Chair will contact all shortlisted candidates by the end of July. A final list of candidates will then be presented for ratification at the Annual General Meeting to be held in late September / early October (date to be confirmed) and will officially be appointed after this.
