The Council
Lambeth is a borough of huge diversity, energy and possibility.
We have long been home to radicals and reformers, entrepreneurs and innovators - people who work together to help change the lives of others and their own.
For hundreds of years, we have welcomed new communities who have left a unique cultural imprint on our borough.
We all know that we are now living and working in a volatile and uncertain world, with increasing and changing challenges, budget cuts to services, an unstable economy and the threat of a changing climate.
Through our Borough Plan we have brought together feedback from residents and identified three big ambitions and commitments with a golden thread of equity and justice throughout Lambeth 2030 Our Future, Our Lambeth.
Job Context
The Corporate Committee's key purpose is to provide independent assurance on corporate governance arrangements; the adequacy of the risk management framework and the associated control environment; independent scrutiny of the authority's financial and non-financial performance to the extent that that it affects the authority's exposure to risk and weakens the control environment; and oversight of the financial reporting process.
About The Role
The Council is seeking to appoint an Independent (co-opted) Member to join the Corporate Committee for a term of 2 years (renewable once) who will complement the skills and expertise of the Committee and work to provide robust and constructive challenge.
A co-optee's role is to complement, rather than replace, the role of elected Members who remain accountable to the electorate and are ultimately responsible for decision making.
The Membership of the Committee, set out in the Constitution, is five Councillors, plus up to two non-voting co-opted Members.
Could you make a positive contribution to effective governance in the Council? The Council is seeking an external co-opted member to join its Corporate Committee.
Your expertise will be vital in optimising the Committee's effectiveness and in enabling the Council to provide assurance on the important work it does on behalf of the Borough.
About You
You should have experience of working at a senior level as well as recent, relevant experience in large complex organisations, ideally in the public sector.
You will also need the ability to think and act strategically, influence others and consider the bigger picture as well as detail.
