The Department of Education (DE) is seeking to appoint a Chairperson to the Board of the EA. As chairperson of the most significant education body in Northern Ireland, this presents a unique and exciting opportunity to shape and deliver transformative change and to contribute towards improved learning and societal outcomes for our children and young people.

The Chairperson role requires a three days-a-week commitment, with annual remuneration between £50,000 and £60,000 (subject to negotiation within this range). Travel and subsistence expenses will also be reimbursed for costs incurred while carrying out EA duties.

Applications are welcome from a wide range of people who have an interest in public service, and we would encourage everyone to apply. A Guaranteed Interview Scheme is in place for those applicants with a disability.

The closing date for receipt of applications is 4pm BST on Thursday 3 October 2024.
