Vacancies: Independent Members – Finance, Risk and Audit Committee

 
Vacancy: Independent Members – Finance, Risk and Audit Committee (Independent Members – Finance,)
Contract: Casual
Salary: £412 per day, annual commitment of 7 days Meetings – virtual/Central London
 
Description:

We are a leading statutory professional regulator committed to upholding the standards of conduct, practice and competence of architects registered in the UK. Our role is critical in safeguarding the interests of the public while supporting the development of the profession of architects.

Our work has arguably never been more important as we respond to key challenges such as the climate crisis and the public policy demands of moving to Net Zero. We also have an important role to play in responding to the requirements of the Building Safety Act 2022.  The landscape across we operate is consequently a dynamic one. Over and above this, a broad range of organisational risks must be managed as we increasingly pursue business growth and excellence.

You will join us at a key stage in our development then, as we seek to grow and mature as an organisation. Strong governance is critical to our ability to work efficiently and effectively in the public interest, and in recognition of this, we have recently reviewed our approach. One of the outcomes of the review is the establishment of a new Finance, Risk and Audit Committee which will play an important role in ensuring that as an organisation, we are able to anticipate and mitigate financial, operational and reputational risk.

We are seeking two Independent Committee Members to join the Committee. Financially astute and literate with a relevant current accounting qualification, your relevant experience may have been gained in either an executive or non-executive capacity. What is most important is your ability to make a strong contribution through familiarity with the governance and regulatory frameworks relevant to the ARB, enabling you to both support and constructively challenge us to add value and build on our already high standards.

Over and above your skills and experience, you will be a team player with shared values; interested in our work and invested in our future success and impact.

We are excited to welcome new talent to the ARB. If this sounds like the role for you, we look forward to hearing from you.

About Us:

ARB is an independent professional regulator, established by Parliament as a statutory body, through the Architects Act, in 1997. We are accountable to government.

The law gives us a number of core functions:

  • To ensure only those who are suitably competent are allowed to practise as architects. We do this by approving the architecture qualifications required to join the Register of architects.
  • We maintain a publicly available Register of architects so anyone using the services of an architect can be confident that they are suitably qualified and are fit to practise.
  • We set the standards of conduct and practice the profession must meet and take action when any architect falls below the required standards of conduct or competence.
  • We set requirements for and monitor the continuous professional development that architects must undertake, to provide assurance to the public about the continuing competence of the profession.
  • We protect the legally restricted title ‘architect’.

We want a world in which the built environment inspires those who live and work in it, reflects the needs of society so that people are safe and can live well, and helps to tackle the fundamental challenges our planet faces.

The contribution that regulation can make to this overarching purpose may be small, but we recognise that architects and other professionals in the built environment can achieve their own goals, potential and outcomes only if we are delivering effective regulation.
