Public Appointment - Charity Commission for Northern Ireland

Applications are invited for the appointment of a Legally Qualified Commissioner to the Board of CCNI. This is an excellent opportunity for an individual to make a significant contribution to the charitable sector as well as ensuring that CCNI fulfils its statutory role as the independent regulator of charities in Northern Ireland. The Legally Qualified Commissioner plays an important role on the Board. Although the individual appointed will be a qualified solicitor or barrister, they will not be required to provide legal advice. Instead they will have the ability and expertise to bring a legal perspective to discussions and the work of the Board. 

Applications are welcome from across the community, voluntary, business or public sectors particularly from women, people with a disability, people from minority ethnic groups and young people. A Guaranteed Interview Scheme is in place for those applicants with a disability.  You do not need to have previous experience of serving on a board to apply.

Further detail on the role, selection criteria and time commitment are included in the application pack which you are encouraged to read fully.
