The Secretary of State wishes to appoint a new Chair of the British Tourist Authority (“BTA”) Board.
The BTA Board is responsible for the overall direction of the BTA (trading as VisitBritain/VisitEngland), working within a framework agreed with its sponsoring Government department, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (“DCMS”). The Board also monitors the BTA’s performance against targets agreed with DCMS.
DCMS is committed to eliminating discrimination and advancing equality of opportunity in its public appointments. They particularly encourage applicants from underrepresented groups, those based outside London and the South-East and applicants who have achieved success through non-traditional educational routes. This ensures that boards of public bodies benefit from a full range of diverse perspectives and are representative of the people they serve.
Closing date for applications is 6 June 2022
