The Department for Communities has launched a competition to appoint a Commissioner with Accountancy Qualifications and Related Experience to the Board of the Charity Commission for Northern Ireland (the Commission).

As the independent regulator of charities in Northern Ireland, the Commission plays a key role in their development. The charity sector supports and provides vital services to the people of Northern Ireland, with charities ranging from small local groups, to those that operate nationally and internationally.

The Commissioner will provide a specific skill-set to the Board whilst also making a significant contribution to the charitable sector, particularly in helping to drive forward change arising out of the Independent Review of Charity Regulation. Those with the requisite qualifications and experience are encouraged to apply.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Monday 19 June 2023.

Further information, including an application pack, can be obtained at the DfC website or by e-mailing the public appointments team or telephoning 028 9081 9417.
