The Welsh Government is seeking 4 members for the Board of the Education Workforce Council (the Council).
The Council is the independent professional regulator for the education workforce in Wales. With around 90,000 registrants, it is Wales’ largest regulatory body and has the widest register of education practitioners in the world.
As a member of the Council, you will contribute to the overall strategic direction of the EWC. You will bring independent judgement to bear on the Council’s performance to ensure its compliance and governance.
The Welsh Government believes public bodies should have members who reflect Welsh society - people from all walks of life - to help them understand people's needs and make better decisions. This is why the Welsh Government is encouraging a wide and diverse range of individuals to apply for appointments to public bodies. Applications are particularly welcome from all under-represented groups including women, people under 30 years of age, people from ethnic minority communities, disabled people and the LGBT+ community. The principles of fair and open competition will apply, and appointments will be made on merit.
The Welsh Government is a bilingual organisation and acknowledges the importance of developing and growing bilingual capabilities in public appointments in Wales. Therefore, Welsh language skills are desirable for the posts. We welcome applications which demonstrate the capability to work in both Welsh and English.
The closing date for receipt of applications is 18 February 2026 at 16:00. Applications received after this will not be considered unless you wish to be considered under the Disability Confident Scheme. It is expected that interviews will be held in the week commencing 09 March 2026.
