Applications open for new Appointed Trustee roles
Applications for three new appointed trustees of the BPS are now open.
20 October 2022
The three new roles were introduced following changes to our Charter and Statutes after a successful member vote earlier this year.
The appointed trustee roles will cover three specific areas to bring the necessary skills and experience needed to the Board of Trustees to ensure the society is well-led, well-run, and delivers maximum value for members in line with our Royal Charter. These areas are:
- Finance/Audit/Risk Management
- HR/People and Culture
- Business Leader/Growth
As recently approved in the new Charter, the society will consider applications from both members and non-members, with the aim of securing a wide-range of candidates with the necessary skills, expertise and experience to take up these important roles.
Appointed trustees do not need to have specific knowledge of psychology but should display an interest in the sector and passion for the role that the society plays as a champion for the discipline, for professional standards and as a convener within the sector.
We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds particularly from people with a disability, BAME and LGBT+ who are currently under-represented across the society.
Applications will close on Sunday 20 November.
