Managing Director at The Alternative Board (Bristol North)", "Unlike many courses I have attended in the past, How to become a Non-Executive Director went beyond just the technical aspects of being a 'Non-Exec', and reflected on the differences in the approach required compared to being an Exec Director.
It allows you to make a fully informed decision on whether a Non Exec role is right for you, and if it is, how to go about finding opportunities.
An invaluable day of learning! Alastair Lewis Managing Director at Carlisle Support Services Ltd", "\'\'I really enjoyed the last meeting.

I can highly recommend this comprehensive and value-for-money all-day course. Class numbers were kept at a manageable size for maximum interaction, enabling everyone to contribute and get the most out of the day. It was interesting to note that the course attracted a diverse range of interested participants, ranging from someone in their first job to an experienced member of committees, to someone who had substantial work experience, quite removed from the corporate arena, who wanted to learn about and explore opportunities as an NED. The course content was extremely relevant and helpful including the different routes to becoming an NED. On the basis of this training, attendees could feel more confident about embarking on the next stage of applying for opportunities leading in the long-term to an NED role or two. David clearly has a wealth of experience and is to be congratulated for his extremely useful training that has been pitched at the right (user-friendly) level for participants from diverse backgrounds.

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) is the first organisation in the world to bring together many of the tools needed to pursue and apply the sustainable management of natural resources in relation to Wales. It is Wales’ largest Welsh Government Sponsored Body, established on 1 April 2013.

Alongside a wide range of operational and regulatory responsibilities, it is the principal adviser to Welsh Government about natural resources. The Board provides leadership and sets the organisation’s strategic direction and objectives and also promotes high standards by upholding the principles of regularity, propriety and value for money.

The Welsh Government is now seeking to appoint three new Board members to commence terms on 1 September 2021.

For all three roles, candidates must be able to demonstrate:

  • Respect for and understanding of the principles of accountability and good governance
  • Judgement in complex decision-making
  • Ability to interpret and challenge financial reports and wider performance issues
  • A focus on our future generations
  • A demonstrable commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion

Two of the roles require candidates to have experience in environment, landscape or land management and for one of these, fluency in Welsh is essential. For the third role, we are seeking a candidate with experience of chairing a committee who also has private sector and/or commercial experience.

If appointed, you will be required to attend six Board meetings a year and will also be expected to be a member of statutory sub-committees which meet 4-6 times a year. The landscape roles have a time commitment of 36 days per year and the Committee Chair role will have a time commitment of 42 days per year. All roles will be offered as an initial appointment of two, three or four years. The roles attract remuneration of £350 per day plus reasonable expenses.

Becoming a member of the Board of NRW offers you the chance to work with, and on behalf of, people who are passionate about the natural resources of Wales. You will be joining an organisation with a commitment to continuous improvement and to being a high performing organisation so that it can fulfil its ambitious purpose.

For a confidential discussion, available in either Welsh or English, please contact us on [email protected], specifying your language preference.

Applications must be received by 16:00 on 30 April 2021.

The Welsh Government believes public bodies should have board members who reflect Welsh society - people from all walks of life - to help them understand people's needs and make better decisions. This is why the Welsh Government is encouraging a wide and diverse range of individuals to apply for appointments to public bodies. Applications are particularly welcome from all under-represented groups including women, people under 30 years of age, people from ethnic minority communities, disabled people and the LGBT+ community.
