£6,000 pa – part-time
UKROEd – United Kingdom Road Offender Education – plays a unique and important role in our work to educate drivers who commit certain specific traffic offences across the UK.
A private not-for-profit company, UKROEd is responsible for the management and administration of the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) on behalf of the Road Safety Trust. We help the Road Safety Trust meet its charitable objectives and through surpluses gifted to them, the Road Safety Trust has been able to award £5.5m in grants, as of March 2022.
At the core of our work we:
- Develop courses
- Quality assure trainers and providers to enable members of the public to choose where they would like to attend a course
- Distribute course fees paid by members of the public attending courses and
- Recoup administration costs incurred by course providers and police enforcement activities,
Through this, we assist police forces and change driver behaviour to support a reduction to collisions, death and injury to road users. In fact, a 2018 report by Ipsos MORI showed that targeting the behaviour of motorists through the UKROEd courses reduced the likelihood of reoffending within six months by up to 23 per cent. Over a three-year period, taking part in the course was more effective at reducing speed reoffending than a fine and penalty points.
UKROEd is now seeking up to three new Non-Executive Directors to join our Board and help us lead and evolve our unique and life-saving work. At this moment, we require NEDs with strong Digital/Tech, Commercial, and Finance experience at a senior level, and who have previous Non-Executive experience, either as a NED or Trustee.
You will be a strategic thinker, with the critical evaluation skills to both challenge and contribute. You will have an appreciation of the legal and regulatory framework we operate within and know what good governance looks like. Objective, you can take the long-term view, while staying on top of a fast-changing environment with energy and resilience. As a diplomatic personality, with strong interpersonal skills, you will provide constructive advice and feedback to the executive team.
In addition, an understanding of the public sector – for example in a commercial or finance capacity – is desirable, as well as an understanding of using digital technology in an education context and of complex governance structures across multiple organisations and public bodies.
NEDs can expect to spend approximately one day per month on this role, including a monthly morning meeting, which rotates between physical and virtual, alongside an annual conference in October and one to two strategy days per year. NEDs can be based anywhere in the UK.
