The RSA has vacancies on the Fellowship Council for representatives in Scotland, Ireland, North England and Oceania.
Fellowship Councillors are at the heart of the RSA and play a key role in ensuring that the Fellowship’s voice is heard. They provide a vital link between staff and our unique global network of social innovators.
The role of a Fellowship Councillor is threefold:
- Lead and drive local activity for Fellows in partnership with the Area Manager, making connections between Fellows, forming networks and being a key conduit to the work that the RSA is undertaking,
- Consult on and support the delivery of relevant projects and pathways,
- Represent the views of Fellows and consult on a mix of ideas, initiatives and strategies.
Visit the Fellowship Council page on our website for more information.
Applications will be reviewed by a panel of Fellows and staff, with a shortlist invited for interview. Following the interview, recommendations will be submitted to the RSA’s Nominations and Governance Panel for approval and appointment. Successful appointees will join the Council from early October 2024.
Time required for the role
This is a volunteer role but does require a commitment to dedicated time to be effective. All Fellowship Councillors commit to attending an induction meeting and at least three full Council meetings per year (online or hybrid), there may also be additional online meetings to support with specific projects/programmes. You would be expected to be able to set aside or dedicate at least one day a month to be able to deliver effectively in this role in addition to the commitments outlined above, alongside a monthly meeting with your area manager. All appropriate expenses will be covered.
Deadline for applications and interview information
