We are seeking a highly experienced board member who has achieved senior level/Director status in their chosen profession.

We are looking for an individual with a general business background. Knowledge and understanding of working with central government would be a significant advantage.
The work of Trinity House and that of the General Lighthouse Authorities for Scotland and Ireland is co-ordinated by a Joint Strategic Board to provide leadership and strategic planning across the three General Lighthouse Authorities. The post holder will be required to support the Joint Strategic Board in the mid to long term future.
