Are you looking for a new and exciting opportunity to guide an ambitious, global university? The University is looking to appoint a co-opted member to join the University's Court to help us achieve our plans. We are seeking people who are motivated by our ambitions and who can bring innovative thought and challenge. The Court is the university’s governing body and oversees our strategy and vision. You can help us in delivering our Vision and Values - placing these at the heart of everything we do. This is a unique opportunity to become a critical friend, provide expert guidance and assist in taking the University forward. Ideally, candidates will demonstrate a range of skills and have significant strategic leadership experience gained within large, complex organisations. We would particularly welcome applications from individuals with at least two years of building and land management expertise, higher education sector knowledge, and wider senior leadership experience. If you share our values and can help the University achieve its ambitious goals and deliver positive change, we would be delighted to hear from you. The main purpose of the role of the Court Member is to assist Court in performing its statutory functions. Co-opted Court Members are neither employees nor students of the University, and are appointed by the Court itself - A majority of members on Court are external. Once appointed, all members are charity trustees as the University is a registered educational charitable body. As a founding member of the Russell Group, Glasgow is one of the UK's leading research universities. It has a strong and growing international profile with over 9,000 employees and an annual turnover of over £1bn, having a powerful impact on the Scottish economy.
