RICS is committed to valuing diversity and promoting equality. We encourage and welcome applications from suitably qualified candidates from all backgrounds regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, gender, or sexual orientation, and we particularly welcome applications from groups which are currently under-represented.

Available positions on the board, are specific to the following geographical locations:

• East of England

Although applications are welcome from professionals of all disciplines and sector pathways, to ensure comprehensive representation across the necessary sector pathways on the board, we are actively seeking professionals from the following disciplines:

• Land/Rural

The Role

We are looking for active volunteers with a solid can-do attitude and motivated to invest time and effort to assist in the development of the RICS UKI WRB.  The successful candidates will be expected to participate with RICS staff to create confidence in markets and be known for effecting positive change in the built and natural environments.

To achieve this, RICS in UK&I will continue to increase the recognition of our credentials and our professional standards with the assistance of the successful candidate. The chosen candidate will provide market insights and intelligence, support Business Planning and alignment of the RICS strategic goals and enhance local member engagement.

Time commitment

The Board meets every quarter, online or in a central location. Since the Board is very active, a commitment of at least two days per month (excluding travel) is expected from UKI World Regional Board members in order to perform their duties.

All non-executive members are reimbursed for expenses incurred in the performance of their duties in accordance with the RICS Expenses Policy and in line with the agreed budget. Claims are reimbursed on the basis of actual costs incurred and original receipts or tickets must be retained and made available with the claim.  Reimbursement will usually be on the basis of the most economic means of travel available.
