Are you passionate about making a difference and supporting local enterprise?

We are seeking to appoint two experienced and motivated Non-Executive Directors (NED) to join the Board of Blackpool Waste Services Limited (Enveco), a company wholly owned by Blackpool Council, which aims to provide high-quality waste environmental services to the community.

As a Board member, you will take a lead in shaping and defining the company’s future direction, strategic objectives and values.

You should be a strategic thinker, with strong communication skills including an ability to offer constructive challenge, as well as being able to interpret data and performance management information.

We are particularly interested in candidates who bring strategic insight, strong financial and operational governance alongside a genuine commitment to our community and public service values as the company enters an exciting period of potential growth, business transformation and operational excellence.

Whilst sector experience is not essential, candidates with relevant experience of operational management, commercial strategy, and customer experience at Board, or executive level, would particularly be welcomed.

• Allowance: £3,000 per annum (gross)
• Time commitment: Approximately 4 Board meetings per year, with additional Committee responsibilities, training and briefing sessions as required.
