Our Assessment Approach

We want to get to know you-your thinking, your values, and how you might contribute around the board table. If shortlisted, as part of the process, we'll ask you to take part in a mini board session to explore how you interpret data, interact with other board members and how you'd approach a strategic or financial challenge relevant to our work.

You'll also take part in a structured interview with a panel, and we may invite you to complete a brief psychometric profile to support our understanding of your strengths and decision-making style. The aim is to create a balanced, inclusive process that values both your experience and your potential.
