Public Appointments - USEL Board Members

Do you want to use your skills and experience to help a social enterprise that provides opportunities for those with a disability or health related conditions to enter the workplace? If so, the Department for Communities is inviting applications for the appointment of Members to the Board of Ulster Supported Employment Ltd (USEL). Its vision is to be the lead provider in helping people with disabilities gain employment.

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.

A Member receives £140 for each Board meeting attended (11 board meetings per year plus time for other activities/training). Further detail on the selection criteria, the role and the time commitment are included in the application pack which you are encouraged to read fully.
