The role

East Suffolk Council is looking to recruit two people to become Independent Members of our Audit and Governance Committee, which meets at least four times per year, usually on a Monday evening at 6.30pm at our offices at Melton or Lowestoft.

These are interesting roles that would give you input into the council’s policy and practice, as well as learning about the systems and processes that support the broad and complex range of council services, especially the financial / risk management of those services.

What you will need

To be eligible, you must live or work in the East Suffolk District and you must not be politically active or have any relationship with East Suffolk Councillors. Ideally, you will be an impartial, independent-minded person who also has experience in Audit, Finance or Risk Management. The role description and person specification can be found here. Training will be provided.

An allowance of 1.75% of the Councillor’s Basic Allowance will be paid to the appointed persons, which equates to £164.13 per meeting attended.
