Job Description

South Bank Employers’ Group – working together for a better South Bank for all.

For nearly 35 years, South Bank Employers’ Group has been at the heart of making South Bank the place it is today - an internationally important destination, an economic powerhouse, and a real and authentic neighbourhood with diverse business, residential and student communities. We are a member-led, not for profit company, and our work is diverse and wide-ranging.

We are recruiting five new members to our Board of Directors.

About Us

In line with our vision of working together for a better South Bank for all, we deliver to our members, and have strategic agreements with Lambeth Council, South Bank Business Improvement District, and Jubilee Gardens Trust. We coordinate and direct a significant collective investment across the South Bank and Waterloo neighbourhood, working with our members and partners to ensure that this investment addresses our shared priorities. This includes the annual revenues raised through the pioneering and innovative London S106 agreement, whereby 1% of the Eye’s annual turnover is reinvested in services and initiatives that benefit the neighbourhood.

Following an extensive review of our governance and membership arrangements, we are now creating our new Board, which will work alongside our Members’ Council, which is also new. The Board is member-led, with six Directors that are appointed from SBEG’s full members, and we are now looking for five additional non-member Directors. They will join Tom Sleigh, SBEG’s Chair, the six member representative Directors, and Nic Durston - SBEG’s Chief Executive - on the Board.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for people who have the right skills and experience to ensure that the Board ensures that SBEG works towards its vision, achieves its corporate goals and objectives, and supports and enhances the work of the team. We are also keen to ensure that our Board is diverse and inclusive, reflecting the area’s identity, and those that work, visit, study and live here. Following a skills review of our current Directors, we are keen to hear from candidates with experience and skills in sustainability, marketing, human resources and legal.

You don’t need to be based in the South Bank area to be a Board member, but we would like to know about why you are interested in this opportunity. If you are interested, please click on "How to apply" to see the next steps. 

The deadline for applications is 5pm on Monday 22 September.
