<span id="_ctl0_lblDescription">Chair, Audit Commission £86,800 two days per week - London

There are few organisations that enjoy such wide-ranging influence and responsibility as the Audit
Commission. It is the body that ensures public money is spent economically, efficiently and effectively across local government, housing, health, criminal justice and fire and rescue services.

Quite simply, its work matters to everyone in the country. Ministers are currently looking for an
exceptional individual to lead it through a key time of change, and help maintain absolute focus on its key objective: to minimise bureaucracy and maximise impact on public services.

Make no mistake – this is an unusually complex and demanding role. A high-profile organisation with over 2,100 employees and an annual budget of around £230 million, it is preparing to expand its activities by absorbing the responsibilities of the Benefit Fraud Inspectorate from 2008. It also plays a vital and highly visible role in the wider public sector reform agenda.

That’s why you will need to be a natural leader with the ability to energise and inspire the teams around you, and someone with a passion for improving public services. The credibility, impartiality and of Board-level success within a similarly complex and changing environment.

To apply for this uniquely challenging and rewarding role, please visit www.auditcommissionfutures.co.uk or call our 24-hour response line on 020 7931 6320
quoting ref 9159. For an informal and confidential discussion about this role, please call Juliet Taylor on 020 7932 4275, Beverley Steel on 020 7932 4211 or Mark Turner on 020 7932 4245.
Closing date: 12th May 2006.


The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister is committed to appointing on merit, seeking candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds and taking full account of equal opportunities. Applications are particularly welcome from women, minority ethnic and disabled candidates who are under-represented at this level in public life.

I would be excellent at that.</p>

As long as one of the two days isn't Saturdays, or Tuesday evenings, or occasionally Fridays. And sometimes Wednesday. Oh, and I like Thursdays at home.</p>

They'd have to pay me more than £86,800

to be a chair for John Prescott - not having him sitting on me!
