UHI Perth is one of Scotland’s leading Colleges of Further and Higher Education, and a partner in the University of the Highlands and Islands.
Independent Board Members are a governing body charged with overseeing the operation of the College. A position on our Board requires commitment to the work of the College and the community, an interest in the post-16 education sector, and effective communication and analytical skills.
UHI Perth (in common with many colleges across the sector) is currently facing some challenges around financial sustainability, and as part of the process of addressing these challenges, we are undertaking some fundamental changes to our governance and operations. With such change comes opportunity, and as such we currently have vacancies for Independent Board Members with the right skills and experience.
Membership is voluntary and unpaid, but brings huge rewards to members - input can make a real difference to the education and prospects of our learners and to the wellbeing and success of the communities where they live.
Attendance at meetings of the Board and Committees is required, usually early evening, and reasonable travel costs for Board business are reimbursed.
The College is an equal opportunities employer and positively encourages applications from suitably qualified and eligible candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, religion or belief, marital status, or pregnancy and maternity.
To arrange an informal conversation with the Chair of the Board, please contact:
