Are you ready to join the FOS board?

Do you have experience of strategic decision-making and a commitment to the ethos, values and independence of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS)?

If so, then you might just be the right person for the organisation as it looks for a new non-executive director.

Whoever gets the job will be paid handsomely: £21,000 a year for just two days work per month in the London Docklands.

The Ombudsman has published a job advertisement for the role, setting out the requirements for the job.

Other qualities needed include experience of board level governance and experience as a chief executive, operations director or equivalent at an organisation "at least as large and complex" as the FOS.

The successful candidate will "contribute to the overall strategy and direction of the ombudsman service" and will be required to "act as an ambassador for the service".

As well as scrutinising the performance of the service, they will also have to ensure it is "able to continue to operate independently and without outside influence in making its decisions".

Last month, the organisation posted an advertisement for a new chairman, a two days per week role which pays a salary £75,000.
