ABOUT THE ROLE:

Introduction from the Secretary of State:
This is an important time for the Department for Transport.

We are investing heavily in infrastructure and public transport to improve journeys, boost connections, level up the country and support economic growth.

Central to our mission is delivering transport that works for everyone in our society. We are recruiting for two non-executive directors to join our team on the Board of the CAA.

The CAA is the United Kingdom's independent aviation and aerospace regulator for airspace, consumer rights, economic regulation, safety, security compliance and spaceflight.

Further details about the CAA are in its Annual Report.

Introduction from the Chair

The Civil Aviation Authority has a vital public service role, promoting the safety, security, and consumer interests of those who fly, whilst also protecting those on the ground underneath.

We also have a vital role in leading and enabling the air and space aerospace sectors, helping ensure that the UK continues to be a global leader in aerospace.

These are exciting but exceptionally challenging times:

we need to ensure that the existing air and space sector continues to be safe and effective; we must chart a course to environmentally sustainable aviation; we need to modernise UK airspace; we need to ensure that UK aerospace continues to thrive outside the EU; we need to create the right environment for new technologies, as well as further develop our role as the UK's Space regulator; we need to do much more to promote innovation, STEM, and diversity in aerospace; and we must constantly do more for consumers.

We also must have the People strategies within the CAA which ensure we can deliver this ambitious agenda. The CAA Board ensures that we maintain excellence in our day-to-day responsibilities, whilst setting our organisation for the future. Our non-executive directors are at the heart of the Board's work, providing vital insight, guidance, challenge, and support.

In recruiting two new non-executive directors to the Board, I'm excited by the opportunity to be able to work with great individuals who will give us the skills, experience, and diversity that the Board needs to define and deliver the CAA of the future.

I very much look forward to meeting you.

Sir Stephen Hillier

Chair of the Civil Aviation Authority

Additional introductions:

I was appointed as a CAA non-executive director in July 2019.

My motivation lay in a desire to contribute to the fast-paced aerospace industry at a time of great challenge and opportunity.

As a board member I am able to contribute my governance skills in aviation, safety, technology, and business transformation. Innovation in aviation is accelerating in areas such as automated flight, sustainable aviation, space and more. It's a truly exciting and important time to make a difference. The CAA is a vibrant, diverse learning organisation with an exceptional culture. Our people embrace innovation, while ensuring safety, security and consumer protection remain at the forefront of everything we do.

As a non-executive director, we play a key governance role and offer healthy challenges in areas such as performance-based regulation of airports, airlines, and airspace.

In addition to the regular board responsibilities, I belong to the Audit and People Committees, and the Safety Leadership Group.

I am also a member of the board of CAAi, the international arm of the CAA.
