DAERA is committed to the principle of public appointments based on merit with independent assessment, openness and transparency of process. DAERA is committed to equality of opportunity and welcomes applications regardless of gender, age, marital status, disability, religion, ethnic origin, political opinion, sexual orientation or whether or not you have dependants. Since women, young people, people from minority ethnic groups and people with disabilities are currently under-represented on boards of DAERA public bodies, applications from these groups would be particularly welcome.
