Vacancy - Independent Ethics and Scrutiny Board Chair

Independent Ethics and Scrutiny Board Chair

The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC), Humberside

The Independent Ethics and Scrutiny Board Chair will play a key role in supporting the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) to objectively explore ethical issues and matters raised through scrutiny, in depth and from multiple perspectives, with the purpose of generating genuine and positive organisational learning, informing police and OPCC policy and priorities, challenging when appropriate and creating openness and transparency. 

The Chair will remain independent, recruited by the OPCC and as such will be expected to meet regularly with the Commissioner for the purpose of providing appropriate feedback. The Chair will deliver the findings of the Independent Ethics and Scrutiny Board directly to the Commissioner. 

Meetings will take place throughout each year (usually between 4-5 meetings) as well as regular meetings with the Commissioner and optional ad hoc meetings as necessary. 

The Chair of the Board will be expected to serve for a period of two years, subject to a review of continued suitability after 12 months.

The appointment is subject to successful completion of Humberside Police vetting, renewed every two years.  

The Chair will receive a bursary payment of £3,600 per annum.
