About The Organisation

UHI Perth is one of Scotland’s leading Colleges of Further and Higher Education, and a partner in the University of the Highlands and Islands. UHI Perth is currently recruiting for a new external, independent Chair of the Board of Management and various Independent Board Members to join the governing body charged with overseeing the operation of the College.

UHI Perth (in common with many colleges across the sector) continues to face some challenges around financial sustainability, and as part of the process of addressing these challenges is undertaking a 3-year Financial Recovery Plan. With such challenge comes opportunity, and if you have the right mix of skills and experience, particularly if you have recent senior-level background in finance, accountancy, or corporate governance, we want to hear from you.

Position Description

A position on our Board requires commitment to the work of the College and the community, an interest in the post-16 education sector, and effective communication and analytical skills. Membership is voluntary and unpaid, but brings huge rewards to members – input can make a real difference to the education and prospects of our learners and to the wellbeing and success of the communities where they live.

Attendance at meetings of the Board and Committees is required, usually early evening, and reasonable travel costs for Board business are reimbursed.
