Independent Non-Executive Director

As an Independent Non‑Executive Director, you will work with the Chair and executive directors to support high standards of governance, constructive challenge and effective decision‑making, drawing on your experience to provide independent oversight and sound judgement. We are particularly interested in candidates with significant senior leadership and/or board experience in complex organisations. Given Delt’s position as a public‑sector‑owned company operating with commercial discipline, experience working across public/private sector and/or within shared services would be desirable.

All Non‑Executive Directors are expected to:

• Share Delt’s values, objectives and work collaboratively towards “helping people do amazing things”
• Contribute to the development of Delt’s strategy and long‑term sustainability
• Provide independent judgement and constructive challenge
• Scrutinise performance, finance, risk and controls
• Support strong governance and ethical standards
• Act as general ambassadors for Delt with partners and stakeholders
• Identify, assess, and inform the Board of Directors of internal and external issues that affect Delt

Each NED will also be expected to chair or serve on board committees aligned to expertise.

In particular, we are looking for candidates with demonstrable experience in one or more of the following:

• Finance, audit, corporate governance or performance management
• Digital, IT and cyber
• People, workforce and organisational change

£550 per day for board, committee and related meetings, rising to £650 for chairing a committee; time commitment: approximately 1‑2 days per month.

The Independent NED appointment is for an initial three‑year term, renewable subject to performance and governance requirements.

Equality, diversity and inclusion are all integral to our organisational ethos and values. It is critically important to us that every Delt employee works in an inclusive environment which has a culture of mutual regard and respect. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.
