We are keen to hear from candidates with specialised knowledge and experience in one or more of the following areas:

Experience of the charity sector and/or general transferable professional skills – i.e. HR, Finance, Fundraising, Marketing, Operational Management skills etc
An insight to the political landscape of Surrey and an ability to network and influence.
We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented on the board.
