The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission (CSC) is looking to appoint an independent member of its Audit and Risk Management (ARM) Committee, starting in early 2025. The role is unremunerated, although out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed in line with CSC policies. The role will require a commitment of around 20 hours per year for attendance at three virtual meetings per year, each of around three hours with papers shared in advance and a small amount of correspondence with the Chair of the ARM Committee and the Commission Secretariat outside meetings.

The CSC is an executive non-departmental public body and operates within the framework of the Commonwealth Scholarship and Fellowship Plan (CSFP). Funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Department for Education and UK University partners, the CSC offers a range of study, research, and professional development options for people throughout the Commonwealth. Our work drives forward global sustainable development objectives by supporting innovators and leaders of the future from across the Commonwealth, while simultaneously attracting outstanding talent to Britain’s universities.
