DCMS is responsible for 42 Public Bodies - organisations set up to deliver government functions at arm’s-length, with independent
boards. These are high profile organisations, ranging from Museums & Galleries such as the V&A, Tate and the British Museum to media
and creative industries such as the BBC and the BFI, and sports organisations including UK Sport and Sport England. We’re also
responsible for regulators including the Gambling Commission and the Charity Commission and advisory bodies including the Treasure
Valuation Committee.
The Appointments Team manages more than 400 public appointments to these public bodies. Public appointments are regulated by the Office for the Commissioner for Public Appointments, and are highly scrutinized inside and outside of the Department. The Team works with Ministers, Cabinet Office, No 10, public bodies themselves and Senior Leaders across DCMS to ensure a diverse range of talented people are appointed to our Boards, ensuring these organisations deliver for the public up and down the country.
We are looking for a motivated and proactive individual to support the Public Appointments team with the delivery of all public appointments across our 42 Public Bodies. We are looking for someone with excellent organisational skills, the ability to prioritise and juggle multiple projects or deadlines and excellent stakeholder management skills.
This is a fantastic and rewarding opportunity to work across the department’s portfolio of Chair and Trustee appointments across a range of our Public Bodies, and to contribute to the business and policy objectives of our Ministers, Cabinet Office, No 10, the wider department and its Public Bodies.
This fast paced role will be crucial for the smooth running of Public Appointment campaigns. The post holder will manage the logistics of each campaign, lead on BPPS checks and announcements, as well as overseeing invoice payments for the interview panels.
