"I wanted to make a contribution to change in areas I am passionate about."

Natalie Bailey, Chair of BACP

We’re looking for an exceptional individual to join our Board of Governors and take up the chair of one of our main delegated committees, the Finance, Risk, Audit, Policy and Performance (FRAPP) Committee.

The FRAPP Committee manages our financial procedures and performance and develops our financial strategy. It approves and reviews investment policy and performance, ensuring compliance with appropriate regulations, and reviews income, expenditure and budget performance.

If you're a professional who could help shape the future counselling and psychotherapy landscape, we invite you to apply to join one of our Board delegated committees.

Our committees are responsible for supporting the development and ongoing delivery of the organisation’s strategy as well as providing the oversight that ensures our polices and processes are being applied consistently and effectively. As a member of one of our committees, you'll have the opportunity to contribute directly to the way the organisation operates and have oversight of the various workstreams held by each committee.

We’ve launched an online Communities of Practice that provides members with a space to share best practice, knowledge, learning and experience while participating in discussions with other members.

To support this, we’re looking for members to become Communities Champions who will work with the BACP Communities of Practice Lead to tend to a community on a regular basis. This role will also require Communities Champions to create up to two discussion topics per month to help encourage discussion within their community.

We’re currently looking for new executive members to join each of our seven divisions. Each division is led by an executive of up to 10 members who run their own meetings, formulate strategies in line with our objectives and actively support us to promote their sector.

As a divisional executive you’ll be appointed for up to three years, which could be extended for a further three years. You'll attend meetings (in-person or online) and have a background or interest in the divisional occupation or interest. Divisional executive positions are voluntary but reasonable expenses will be reimbursed in line with our volunteers policy.
