RSPCA Australia

National, Australia. Vacancy ID: 1816

Position Description

The Board is seeking an external member for its Governance & Nominations Committee (GNC). The successful applicant will join three RSPCA Australia board directors on this key committee which assists the Board in the areas of:
• corporate governance matters;
• recruitment, management and oversight of the CEO; and
• recruitment and appointment of the Independent Chair and Independent Directors.

We are seeking a person with qualifications and/or extensive experience of corporate governance principles and practice, particularly those that apply to charities and to not-for-profit organisations generally. The successful candidate will be required to commit time to preparing for and participating in meetings.

This is a voluntary position, that is, no remuneration is paid, however expenses are reimbursed in line with the organisation’s policies.

When appointing independent members to its board, RSPCA Australia has, in the past, looked to the external members of its sub-committees.

About The Organisation

RSPCA Australia is seeking a person with established qualifications and/or experience in corporate governance, ideally in a charity or not-for-profit organisation, to join its Governance & Nominations Committee. This is a voluntary position, that is, no remuneration is paid, but RSPCA Australia will reimburse reasonable and properly documented expenses incurred that are in accordance with the relevant Board policies.

The RSPCA in Australia operates as a federation. RSPCA Australia’s eight members (RSPCA ACT, RSPCA NSW, RSPCA NT, RSPCA Qld, RSPCA SA, RSPCA Tas, RSPCA Vic and RSPCA WA) are independent legal entities, each with its own board. These members work individually and collectively under the RSPCA brand to achieve our mission to prevent cruelty to animals through actively promoting their care and protection, consistent with RSPCA Australia policies and positions.

Selection Criteria

1. Commitment to the mission and vision of RSPCA Australia
2. Qualifications and/or extensive experience of corporate governance principles and practice, particularly those that apply to charities and to not-for-profit organisations generally.
3. Ability to analyse information, express views and debate robustly while maintaining a professional and collegiate manner
4. Ability to commit time in preparing and participating in meetings of the Committee
5. A strategic focus - able to look beyond the current environment to identify new approaches that could deliver value in the future.

Other desirable qualifications and experience are:
6. Completion of an Australian Institute of Company Directors or comparable course
7. Previous experience on the Board or committee of a charity
