Services [quality] Committee co-optee
The opportunity
Queen Alexandra Charity is pleased to offer you the chance to help ensure that the quality of our college, community services and supported living provision is as it should be, or better. As a co-optee to our Services Committee, you can help ensure that our students and clients receive the best support possible and we comply with requirements.
The commitment
At present, the Services Committee meets four times each year, for up to three hours each time. While we keep timing under review in the light of changing membership, this year's meetings have started at 2.00pm and all of them have been virtual. Of course, you would also need to prepare for meetings by reading papers. Co-optees also attend annual appraisal and are invited to our annual governance strategy days. For these roles, how far away you live from us is not important over time. However, we know that you would want to come on site at least at the start, to get to know us and what we do.
What we are seeking
We seek interest from people who can digest sometimes large amounts of reading and challenge the executive, and governing colleagues, on whether we are performign as well as we should. So as well as being analytical, applicants will need the necessary confidence to contribute during meetings actively and, sometimes, to defend their viewpoint. We welcome anyone with these skills but, right now, but we especially need to add to our expertise in education (especially specialist further education) and care.
The Queen Alexandra Charity, Birmingham
In addition to community services and supported living for adults, we run the Queen Alexandra College with 480 specialist further education places for people who have a diverse range of abilities and plans to grow to 700. Please look us up on
www.qac.ac.ukfor more information.Is this role right for you?
Being a co-optee brings a commitment that is much more limited than that for trustees/governors. If you are looking to gain experience in governance, but have limited time, this may be the manageable role that you're looking for, through which you can have a major impact as part of a rigorous, but friendly, team.
Get in touch
Please contact Paul Walker, our Director of Governance, with any initial queries. At that time, we can arrange a chat with other key people and/r a visit to us if that would be helpful. Telephone 07515 760020. Email governance@qac.ac.uk
Key Responsibilities
Attending Governance meetings. Please see attached schedule.
