Launch of recruitment competition for Three Members to the Board of Londonderry Port and Harbour Commissioners
Date published:
The Department for Infrastructure (DfI) Minister Liz Kimmins has announced a recruitment campaign to appoint three Non-Executive Members to the Board of Londonderry Port and Harbour Commissioners (LPHC).
Foyle Port is the key marine gateway to the North West of Ireland for both commerce and tourism. The Port handles approximately two million tonnes of cargo per annum and offers a diverse range of services. Supporting in the region of 1000 jobs, the Port makes a vital contribution to the North West regional economy.
Minister Kimmins said:
“These are key positions as the organisation continues to progress its business-improvement strategy to ensure the ongoing efficiency of its operation.
“I would encourage anyone who considers that they meet the criteria for the posts and feel that they want to make a positive contribution to the work of LPHC to apply.”
The time commitment for the post will be approximately two full business days per month. Non-Executive Members will be expected to attend all Board meetings and other ad-hoc meetings as required. The Non-Executive Members will receive remuneration of £9,811 (under review) and reasonable travel and subsistence costs.
The appointments will be effective from as soon as possible following Ministerial decision, for a 4-year term.
Applications will be welcomed from all sections of the community.
Women, younger people, people with disabilities and people from ethnic minority communities are currently under-represented on DfI Boards. Applications from members of these groups would be particularly welcome.
