Terms and Conditions

The Board Members and Chair are appointed by Ministers. The following provides an outline of the terms and conditions of appointment.

Period of Appointment

Appointments are for a period of 3 years and are expected to commence in October 2006 subject to the approval of Ministers. Re-appointment at the end of the term cannot be guaranteed although Ministers may appoint for a further period, subject to satisfactory performance.

Time Commitment

The time commitment is expected to be 2-3 days a month: 1 day a month for Board meetings and the remainder for other requirements associated with the post. In total the time commitment is not expected to exceed 30 days a year. Those who are unable to contribute the time currently specified should not rule themselves out if they can demonstrate a high level of fit with the requirements.

Meetings of the Board will generally be held in the NHPAU's offices in Titchfield near Fareham, Hampshire.

Remuneration

A daily fee of £350 will be paid to Board Members. A daily fee of £468 will be paid to the Chair. Remuneration is subject to tax and national insurance. Reasonable travel and subsistence costs will be reimbursed. Child and elder care costs will be reimbursed at Civil Service rates.

Conflicts of Interest

Board Members should avoid conflicts of interest where their Board duties and private interests conflict, and should ensure the openness of the Board's activities in line with the Seven Principles of Public Life (see below). There is a section in the application form which asks you to declare whether you have any conflicts of interest.
