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.
