With Jon Beausire stepping down after years of dedicated service, the Convenor and Tribunal Board is seeking a new Chair to help lead and shape the future of the Children’s Tribunal System.
This is a meaningful opportunity for someone with relevant experience to contribute to a system that protects and empowers children and young people across the Bailiwick.
The Chair plays a vital role in ensuring the System functions effectively, supporting the Children’s Convenor and President of the Tribunal, and liaising with wider stakeholders to uphold statutory responsibilities.
The Board is looking for experience that is relevant to the functions of the Children’s Convenor – for example, within education, social services, health, law enforcement, legal, finance, human resources, children or family services.
You don’t need to have any specific formal qualifications to undertake the role, however the Board wants someone who shares their values – child-centred, respectful, fair, creative and community focused – and who shows a real commitment to effective public services.
There are six board meetings a year. Remuneration is £95 per half day, plus expenses.
