Islington Council is seeking to recruit two independent members to serve on the Audit and Risk Committee and an Independent Person in relation to the Standards Committee. Both positions are for a four year term, starting in January 2025.
The Audit and Risk Committee reviews the effectiveness of the council’s financial and internal control and audit systems.
The Standards Committee advises the council on the Code of Conduct for members and hears cases on potential breaches of the council’s Code of Conduct.
These are important roles which help to ensure high standards of governance and financial and ethical integrity in the council.
The ideal candidates would be:
- good communicators,
- inquisitive, open minded and non-judgemental,
- able to analyse information and ask questions effectively,
- interested in local issues and public service.
For the Audit and Risk Committee you should have experience either within a financial, accounting or audit background, or of governance issues more generally.
Our overarching vision is to make Islington a fairer place. We believe everyone should have access to the same opportunities, whatever their background or situation and would like our committees to reflect our diverse and inclusive community. We welcome applicants from under represented groups.
If you have an interest in good corporate governance and an independent mind, we’d like to hear from you.

The closing date for applications is 9.00am on Friday 15 November 2024.
