Ulster University is seeking to appoint two exceptional external independent members to Council, its governing body, from 1 January 2023.  We are seeking candidates with proven experience in the management and governance of a public, private or community/voluntary sector organisation and with relevant experience in a range of specialisms, particularly financial accounting and audit.

Candidates should also share our values and passion for diversity, openness and inclusivity and a drive to support us in delivery of our new strategy, People, Place and Partnership.

Ulster University promotes and celebrates diversity and, in this context, the Committee would welcome and encourage nominations from all communities - particularly those from members of the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic, disabled and LGBT+ communities, as we recognise that individuals from these groups are currently underrepresented on the Council.  All appointments will be made on merit.
