This is a great opportunity to get involved in issues that really matter in your area, and to make a real difference to people’s lives, livelihoods and the local environment. What’s more, it’s a chance to gain new skills and experience, and to build your professional network.
RFCCs typically meet four times a year. We’ll send you a briefing pack to read before each meeting. These roles are unpaid, but we cover reasonable expenses including travel and subsistence costs.
What do I need?
You don’t need to be a technical expert or have specific qualifications. What matters most is your commitment to your local community and your passion for our work. We’re looking for people who:
·
have an active interest in flood and coastal risk management
·
can represent the interests of communities across their region
·
are impartial and not representatives of any particular organisation
·
come from a diverse range of backgrounds
How to apply
As an organisation we strive to reflect the communities we serve. To achieve this, we welcome applications from all backgrounds.
You can find out more about all the roles available, and also apply, via our website.
