Governor Appointments
Governor Appointments to York St John University
We have concluded our recruitment of Governors for
2013. Expressions of interest are always welcome for any
future vacancies that arise.
Founded in 1841, York St John University has a proud
tradition in higher education, serving a growing student population
of around 6000. We are a high quality, friendly
university, known for academic excellence, a strong community
spirit and a magnificent campus, based in the centre of historic
York.
An ambitious university needs to be
well-governed. We are seeking new Governors who can play an active
role on our Governing Body, which has responsibility for overseeing
University strategy, financial matters (current turnover £44
million) and safeguarding the institution’s mission and
character.
Our Governors are appointed from a number of
constituencies and have experience and skills across a range of
sectors within and beyond higher education. Current vacancies are
for those with skills beyond the sector. Applications would
be particularly welcome from those with professional expertise in
any of the following areas: finance, accounting and risk
management; human resource management; legal matters. The
expected time commitment of the role is approximately 12-20 days
per year.
Governors are not remunerated, although
expenses may be claimed.
At any stage, please feel free to contact Alison Kennell, Registrar
and Secretary
to the Governing Body for further governance
information. To arrange an
informal discussion about the role, please contact Julie Cowans at
