COULD YOU HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THE SCREEN INDUSTRY IN NORTHERN IRELAND?
The Department for the Economy is seeking to appoint a new Chair to the Board of Northern Ireland Screen.
A public appointment to a Board gives individuals from different backgrounds and with specific skills and experience a chance to help make decisions that affect all our lives. Board appointments are a great opportunity to give something back to the community, whilst developing your own skills.
Northern Ireland Screen’s role is to maximise the economic, cultural and educational value of the screen industries for the benefit of Northern Ireland’s citizens.
The successful candidate will take the lead in driving forward the Board’s mission to accelerate the development of a dynamic and sustainable screen industry and culture in Northern Ireland.
The appointment begins in July 2021 for a five year term and attracts remuneration of £10,000 per year. The time commitment is approximately 30 days per annum including quarterly board meetings, ad hoc committee meetings and attendance at occasional evening engagements. There may also be some overseas travel.
We particularly welcome applications from people with a disability and those from ethnic minorities as these are currently under-represented on the Board.
We are operating a Guaranteed Interview Scheme for applicants with a disability.
No academic qualifications are required for the post. Appointment will be made on merit from individuals who best satisfy the criteria.
An application pack with full details and guidance can be downloaded after 9.00am on Thursday 15th April 2021 from

Or by emailing [email protected]
Or by Telephone: Janet McCrum on 028 9052 9492 or Text Relay: 18001 028 9052 9492.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 Noon on Friday 7 May 2021. Late applications will not be accepted.
Applicants invited for interview are eligible for reimbursement of reasonable travelling expenses incurred within the UK and the Republic of Ireland.
Equality of Opportunity: The Department is committed to the principles of public appointments based on merit with independent assessment, openness and transparency of process. The Department is also committed to equality of opportunity and welcomes application forms from all suitably qualified applicants irrespective of religious belief, gender, race, political opinion, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or whether or not they have dependants.
