Thank you for your interest in joining the Board of Governors at the University of Brighton. The University of Brighton is where change begins.

By 2035, our vision is to be the first-choice university for enterprise and equity, delivering transformational impact for our students, organisations and the communities we serve. We are seeking two exceptional individuals to join the Board as our new Chair and Deputy Chair to help realise this ambitious vision and transform the University of Brighton into a place that equips every student to thrive in a world shaped by rapid change. Working closely with the Vice-Chancellor Professor Donna Whitehead, and the executive team, the Chair and Deputy Chair will be part of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine what universities can be and what they are for. The Chair will foster a culture of high performance, robust governance, and strategic foresight, acting as a key ambassador for the University and championing our core values of equity, courage, creativity, partnership, and sustainability. The Deputy Chair will provide crucial support to the Chair, acting as a trusted adviser and deputising where required. Both roles will meaningfully shape the future of the University, acting with integrity in ensuring the effective functioning of the Board, fostering an inclusive culture, and contributing to the University's strategic oversight.

Our commitment to equity is recognised by our Athena Swan Silver and Race Equality Charter Silver awards, and our position as one of Stonewall's Top 100 Employers in the most recent index. We have been part of the city of Brighton & Hove since 1859, starting as a school of art in the kitchens of the Royal Pavilion and growing into the vibrant and inclusive community of 17,400 students and 3,100 staff that we are today.
