The Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) is the independent body entrusted with monitoring and advising on academic standards and quality in UK higher education. We are trusted by higher education providers and regulatory bodies to maintain and enhance quality and standards. Our purpose is to ensure that students and learners experience the highest possible quality of education. As the scale, shape, structure and purpose of learning provision are changing in the UK and around the world, QAA safeguards standards and supports the improvement of quality for students - whether they study at a university or college in the UK or in any other location worldwide where courses lead to UK higher education qualifications.

QAA is seeking three individuals to join our constructive and collegiate Board in the pivotal role of independent non-executive director. We\'re looking for forward-thinking individuals who embody our vision, will serve as compelling QAA ambassadors, and offer guidance amidst change and opportunity. Bringing Board-level skills such as objectivity, independence of mind, and good judgement, the incoming Members will contribute to the organisation and the beneficiaries of its work through collegiate attitude to decision making and strategic planning.

The ideal candidates will have expertise and a proven track record in one or more of the following areas: legal, governance, business development, marketing, particularly within membership organisations or highly regulated industries. They will have an awareness of the social, political, and economic contexts in which tertiary education operates.

QAA understands the importance of reflecting the communities that we serve at all levels of our organisation. As such, we particularly encourage applications from People of the Global Majority, who are currently under-represented on our Board.
