London Community Foundation (LCF) exists to help develop strong and connected communities. We do this by inspiring individual and corporate philanthropy - as well as public sector funds - to invest in London's grassroots charities.

The Audit Committee Chair is a key governance role for the Royal Society of Biology RSB), a registered charity with nearly 18,000 individual members and 90 member organisations. The turn-over will be around £3m over the next three years. The Chair  has direct access to the Board of Trustees with a focus on the annual audit process, internal controls and risk management.

The position will commence in May 2022 (AGM) and the successful applicant will ideally shadow from 1 January 2022 (one meeting planned in February). Meetings may be virtual or physical at the discretion of the Chair and by agreement.

The role provides both a development opportunity and an insight and association with the UK’s national body for biology. Most of the global challenges we face have biology as part of their solution, from climate change to the burden of disease. The RSB is at the heart of contributing to national debate, policy formulation and supporting the bioscientists of the present and future.

You will ideally have experience of financial and risk management in the charity sector. A financial or accounting qualification would be advantageous but is not essential. A background in biology is not required but it is hoped the Chair will have a keen interest in the area.

The RSB is committed to ensuring equal opportunities in the life sciences, and supports diversity throughout the sector; at school and in higher education, in the workplace and training and development.  We welcome applications from everyone irrespective of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

3 year initial appointment

The Royal Society of Biology (RSB) is a single unified voice for biology: advising Government and influencing policy; advancing education and professional development; supporting our members, and engaging and encouraging public interest in the life sciences.

The RSB has a defined benefit scheme closed to both new members and accruals. The Board of Trustees consists of the independent Chair, an employee trustee and an external trustee. Historically all trustees, including the Chair, have been volunteers. Given the increasingly technical nature of pension provision and regulatory requirements, the Society has agreed to appoint a professional Chair upon retirement of the current incumbent at the end of 2021.

The initial appointment will be for three years with a salary of between £5,000 and £10,000 per annum for approximately ten days’ commitment.  The successful applicant will be expected to help the scheme continue on a path to self-sufficiency and potentially medium term buy-out.

The RSB is committed to ensuring equal opportunities in the life sciences, and supports diversity throughout the sector; at school and in higher education, in the workplace and training and development.  We welcome applications from everyone irrespective of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.
