Northern professionals urged to apply for public sector jobs
Professionals in the North of England are being urged to apply for senior roles in the public sector. The push is in a bid to increase the regional diversity of the UK’s top public sector appointments and level up the UK.
Baroness Neville-Rolfe, minister of state at the Cabinet Office visited Darlington on Thursday 28 September and spoke to local professionals about applying for public sector appointments which govern over 300 public institutions in the UK.
More than 50 local professionals signed up to attend the event at the Darlington Economic Campus, in one of the Government’s Places for Growth locations, hosted by the Cabinet Office.
The roles available are typically part-time, requiring varying time commitments of a few days a year, several days a month or just 2 to 3 days per week.
Baroness Neville-Rolfe 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.
“People from all backgrounds and areas are essential to govern our public institutions in a way that works for the whole of the UK.
“I thoroughly enjoyed meeting everyone who attended the event today and would strongly encourage them to consider applying for a public appointment.”
