Please note this competition is for an Employer Representative member only. This Member must be from an organisation recognised as representative of employer bodies (employing authorities).
NILGOSC is a Non-Departmental Public Body sponsored by DfC.

Applications are welcome from a wide range of people who have an interest in public service, including those who are looking for an opportunity to use their skills and experience. We would particularly welcome applications from women, people with a disability, young people and people from minority ethnic groups for these positions. A Guaranteed Interview Scheme is in place for those applicants with a disability.
Further information on the competition including the essential criteria can be found in the Candidate Information Booklet.
