More than 200 business professionals in Sheffield signed up for an event hosted by the Cabinet Office and Sheffield City Council to learn about applying for senior public sector roles in a bid to increase regional representation on UK public boards.
Baroness Neville-Rolfe, Minister of State at the Cabinet Office, said: “Public appointees get the chance to improve vital public services, get more involved with their communities, work with a wide range of talented people and make a difference to society. They are extremely rewarding roles and can help accelerate people’s careers.
“The skills and expertise here in Sheffield can be of huge value to the public sector, so I strongly encourage professionals in the area to consider applying for a position.”
The Government makes more than 1,000 public appointments a year across a range of sectors, with new roles going live every week, to support institutions like the NHS, the Met Office and the BBC.
Current roles on offer include: Non-Executive Board Member of HM Land Registry; Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration; and Member of the Engineering Biology Steering Group.
