The e-Assessment Association Ltd. (eAA) is seeking committed and experienced members to join its Board of Directors and help shape the future of e-assessment.
Following the Association’s incorporation as a company limited by guarantee in 2025, the Board plays a critical role in providing strategic leadership, governance and oversight, ensuring the eAA continues to deliver positive impact for members and the wider assessment community.
Three Director positions will become vacant in September 2026:
-
Two Ordinary Director roles, to be filled by Ordinary Members
-
One Organisational Director role, to be filled by an Organisational (Sponsor) Member.
Directors are appointed for a three-year term, as part of the eAA’s annual rotation system, which balances continuity with fresh perspectives.
The Role of a Director
Directors collectively support the delivery of the eAA’s objectives, including professional support for the sector, positive advocacy for technology in assessment, the development of good practice, and awareness-building across the global assessment community.
The role involves:
Always acting in the best interests of the Association
-
Contributing to Board discussions, decision-making and strategy
-
Providing constructive challenge and assurance
-
Contributing in practical ways where appropriate
The expected time commitment is approximately 4–6 hours per month, including Board meetings and preparation.
A Skills-Led Recruitment Approach
The eAA Board operates on the principle of collective capability. No individual Director is expected to cover every skill or area of expertise.
Recruitment is therefore skills-led and informed by the Board’s Skills Matrix, which identifies areas of strength, gaps and emerging risks at a collective level. Each recruitment round focuses on strengthening priority capability areas, ensuring the Board remains effective, balanced and future focused.
Applicants are encouraged to be open and proportionate when describing their skills and experience, focusing on how they would complement the existing Board.

Basis Yorkshire is seeking a committed and values-driven individual to join our Board of Trustees as Treasurer. This is an opportunity to support a long-standing, specialist organisation working alongside sex workers and people experiencing sexual exploitation across Yorkshire.
Basis has over three decades of experience delivering trauma-informed, non-judgemental support, advocacy, outreach and education. We work with people across all sectors of the sex industry, as well as young people and adults at risk of or experiencing sexual exploitation. Our approach is rooted in dignity, agency, social justice and harm reduction, with the voices and experiences of the people we support at the centre of everything we do.
As Treasurer Trustee, you will play a key role in supporting the Board’s oversight of the charity’s financial health, sustainability and governance. While professional financial qualifications are not required, we are looking for someone who is confident in scrutinising financial information, asking constructive questions, and contributing to strategic decision-making.
We are particularly interested in individuals who share our commitment to challenging stigma and inequality, and who can bring thoughtful, independent judgment to Board discussions. Previous experience in the voluntary or community sector, safeguarding, or connections to strategic networks in Leeds would be welcomed.
Trustees are expected to attend quarterly Board meetings, contribute to working groups where possible, and engage with role-specific matters between meetings. An enhanced DBS check will be required and arranged by Basis.
We warmly encourage applications from people with diverse lived and professional experiences, particularly those currently underrepresented at the Board level.
Basis works with women and nonbinary people who work in the sex industry and women and young people who are sexually exploited
