Independent trustees sought for leading health and safety
body
A leading Leicestershire-based health and
safety charity is looking for volunteers to join its board.
The Institution of Occupational Safety and
Health (IOSH), in Wigston, has vacancies for two independent
trustees (non IOSH members), who will help set and oversee the
implementation of IOSH’s strategy.
IOSH Chief Executive Rob Strange OBE said:
“Our organisation plays a key role in reducing injury and ill
health at work, so we want people with a real enthusiasm for
keeping people healthy and safe in the workplace.
“Ideally, they will have worked at senior
manager level with experience of HR management, accounting and
financial management, marketing, brand management or experience of
legal issues relating to charities.”
IOSH's independent trustees help to
steer the future of the health and safety profession, with an
organisation that regularly lobbies government and contributes to
policy affecting health and safety in the workplace.
As well as representing nearly 40,000 health
and safety professionals worldwide and co-ordinating their
professional development, the Institution also strives to maintain
professional standards, producing a range of commercial health and
safety awareness training courses, conducting research and
publishing books.
For an application pack and more information
on the role of an independent trustee, please contact Laura Miles,
HR Officer/NC Co-ordinator, on 0116 257 3190 or email committees@iosh.co.uk.
The closing date for applications is 4 August,
with interviews being held on 25 August and 6 September.
