We are a small, independent body, accountable to the UK Parliament.
We are seeking a talented and committed individual who demonstrates:
- An interest in public service and protection of the public
- A willingness to learn and develop the skills required of a Non-Executive Director
- Ability to assess complex information and situations
- Evidence of a sound team-working approach
- The capacity to give and take advice

- A commitment to equality and diversity.
Our values are integrity, transparency, respect, fairness and teamwork – and we strive to ensure that they are at the core of our work and the way in which we operate.
