Are you passionate about good governance and making a difference in the community?

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC) is looking to appoint two independent members to
the Council’s Governance and Audit Committee. This is a pivotal team that ensures transparency, accountability,
and high standards across the Council. As a member of the Committee, you will bring fresh perspectives, support
decision-making processes, and ensure the Council delivers on its promises to residents and stakeholders.
Although you do not have to be a resident of the Bradford District, you must have a genuine commitment to serving
the public, an excellent knowledge of the district and a determination to deliver high quality, cost-effective
services.

What you’ll need:

• You will have senior-level experience, ideally in Local Government or a similarly complex organisation, and
although you do not need to be a qualified accountant, you must have expertise in financial management, audit practice, risk management, or governance.
• We are also interested in your strong track record in continuous improvement, service transformation and
delivering high-quality outcomes together with the ability to challenge constructively, influence decisions,
and foster consensus in a collaborative environment.
• All Committee Members receive an induction and other appropriate training.

For further information please refer to the information pack.

To apply:

If you are interested in serving on the Committee, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please send your CV

referees at that stage, then please indicate this on your CV. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to attend an
