Recruitment competition for Northern Ireland Transport Holding Company (NITHC)
Date published:
Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd has announced a recruitment campaign to appoint a Chair to the NITHC Board.
The Translink Group consists of a Public Corporation, the NI Transport Holding Company (NITHC), which owns and controls seven private limited subsidiary companies (together referred to as the Group or Translink). Collectively, these are our main public transport provider.
Minister O’Dowd said:
“This is a vital position at a time the organisation progresses through the transformation of public transport in Belfast and across the North. I would urge anyone to apply who considers that they can make a valuable contribution to the work of Translink, through the NITHC, in providing integrated services which connect people, enhance the economy and improve the environment”.
The current remuneration is approximately £37,294 per annum based on anticipated attendance of four business days per month. The Chair is be expected to attend full monthly board meetings and other ad hoc meetings as required. This may involve a commitment both inside and outside of normal working hours, including representing NITHC at occasional evening engagements.
The appointment will be effective from 1 March 2025 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.
