We currently have vacancies on the Fellowship Council for two representatives in Ireland, one in the Central region and one in the South East.

The role of a Fellowship Councillor is three-fold, to:  

1. 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, 
2. Consult on and support the delivery of relevant projects and pathways, 
3. Represent the views of Fellows and consult on a mix of ideas, initiatives and strategies

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 mid-April 2024.

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. All appropriate expenses will be covered.  

The deadline for applications has been extended until 9am BST on Friday 5 April 2024. Any applications received after this deadline will not be considered.
