Capita Resourcing is assisting the Department of Trade and Industry to recruit board members for eight of the English Regional Development Agencies (RDAs).
We are recruiting for members now, but these opportunities come up every year or so, so if you think the timing is not quite right at the moment, we will contact you again when further opportunities arise.
The RDAs are non-departmental public bodies with a primary role as strategic drivers of regional economic development. They help businesses compete and create opportunities for employment. They facilitate innovation and promote sustainable development. And they improve regional infrastructure, revitalising both urban and rural areas.
RDA board members use their strategic awareness of the complex issues affecting their regions, as well as their strong communication skills and credibility within their sectors, for the greater good. They join other men and women who represent a wide range of interests – business, education, local government, the voluntary sector, and trade unions – to ensure good governance and oversee each region’s economic strategy.
Advantage West Midlands is currently seeking two Board Members, one representing business and one representing the voluntary sector. These members will need to commit a minimum of two days per month for an initial period of three years. New board members are recruited on a yearly basis. Further information and an online application process are available at www.rdaappointments.co.uk. Applicants without access to the internet can contact 08700 435060, quoting reference RDA001. The deadline for applications for this campaign is Friday 29th June at 4 p.m.
We will try to keep you up to date with parenting news.
