The University of Northampton is seeking a new member of its Remuneration Committee.
Committee members add valued additional expertise and perspective to support the work of a Board committee, without becoming members of the Board. This can be a great way to get experience and connect with the University with less of a time commitment. Joining a committee does not preclude applying for Board membership in future.
The Remuneration Committee is responsible to the Board of Governors for the remuneration of the Vice Chancellor and oversight of the Vice Chancellor’s performance and leadership of the senior team. The Committee also oversees remuneration arrangements for other senior staff. Applicants may have experience in a range of related matters including staff remuneration, compensation and benefits, staff performance management or employment law.
As a member of the Remuneration Committee, you will be at the forefront of the development of the University by overseeing the delivery of its strategy by senior leadership. You will build professional networks, collaborate with governors and staff, and build your own professional experience, profile and impact. This may include building new skills which will boost your professional expertise. You will be part of an organisation which has social impact as its purpose. The University is an economic engine and a force for social change for the county, the region, and the UK. Our latest Economic Impact Report showed that for every £1 spent running the University, £4 is returned to the economy – a 300% return on investment.
You will work as part of a strong and supportive team of your fellow governors, committee members, and members of staff. In return your skills, experience and broader perspective help the University to ensure that it continues to fulfil its mission.
There is more information about the University, the role and how to apply in the attached 'Further information' document. This is also available on our website or by contacting Miriam Lakin.
The University of Northampton is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and to providing an inclusive environment for staff, students, governors and our stakeholders. We believe strongly that having Board members from a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds ensures the diversity of thought and rigour of debate which characterises a high-performing Board. Applications from women, those with global ethnic majority backgrounds, with declared disabilities, and from LBGT+ candidates are warmly received. In recruiting to the Board, we seek a broad and diverse range of previous professional and personal skills and experiences. Appointments take account of the personal and professional skills and experience of applicants in the context of the overall composition of the committee.
The role is voluntary and reasonable expenses will be reimbursed.
