Seeking an Independent Director with specialist finance/accountancy experience. Must be a professionally qualified accountant and member of a recognised accounting body (e.g. ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CIPFA).

The role provides an opportunity to gain satisfaction from contributing to decision-making and scrutiny at a time when the BMC is seeking to grow its membership and enhance its services.
The successful candidate will have a dual role as a Board Director and Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee.
As an Independent Director, you will be part of the Board expected to analyse plans and strategic options in a constructive way, help lead and direct the future development of the BMC.
As Chair of the Finance and Audit Committee, you will lead a small committee that will make recommendations to the Board, authorise commitment to expenditure, and drive improvement in financial controls and risk management.
The successful candidate may also find it useful to attend occasional meetings of the Members' Council and contribute to the work of various committees and task groups.
