The Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport is seeking to appoint two new Non-Executive Members to the Board of Sianel Pedwar Cymru.

A non-executive member must act in an independent and objective manner, bringing expertise, scrutiny, and challenge to the work of the Board to support and contribute to the strategic direction and governance of the organisation.

The role of the non-executive member is to provide insight, expertise, and oversight without being involved in day-to-day operations. In doing so, they should provide constructive challenge, strategic guidance, offer expert advice and hold executive managers to account. They should also respect the insight and input of the executive members of the S4C Board, where they draw on their expertise from their positions in the Senior Leadership Team at Board meetings.

Key responsibilities of non-executive members of the S4C Board include:

• Strategic Guidance: Collaborate with the Senior Leadership Team and fellow Board members in a non-executive way to develop and review the organisation's objectives, plans and strategic initiatives.
• Governance: Ensure that the organisation complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and corporate governance standards. Review and approve important corporate policies and procedures.
• Risk Management: Assess and monitor the organisation’s risk profile, including financial, operational, legal, and reputational risks. Provide input on risk mitigation strategies.
• Financial Supervision: Review and analyse financial statements, budgets, and key performance indicators to assess the organisation’s financial health and performance.
• Appointing and Succession Planning: Participate in the process of selecting and appointing a Chief Executive, Secretary, and senior executives. Contribute to succession planning for key leadership roles.
• Performance Evaluation: Participate in the evaluation of the performance of the Board (including the performance of all Board members individually), and the Senior Leadership Team.
• Stakeholder Relations: Engage with other stakeholders to address concerns and communicate the company's strategic direction and performance.
• Ethical and Responsible Conduct: Promote ethical behaviour and corporate social responsibility within the organisation. Maintain the highest standards of integrity and transparency.
• Conflict of Interest: Disclose any potential conflict of interest and abstain from voting and/or contributing to discussions on issues where a conflict may exist.
• Continuing Education: Stay abreast of industry trends, regulatory changes, and best practice in corporate governance through ongoing education and training.
• Attend any appropriate training organised for S4C Board members on a fairly regular basis.
