Become a member of the Office of the Third Sector's VCS Advisory Group
The Office of the Third Sector is currently recruiting two members for its
Voluntary and Community Sector Advisory Group which acts as a sounding
board and critical friend to the OTS - playing an advisory rather than
consultative role.
The Voluntary and Community Sector Advisory Group was originally set up in
2003 for an initial period of three years to advise the former Home Office
Active Communities Directorate (ACD) and Ministers on the role of the VCS
in public service delivery. It's role has subsequently broadened to
cover further aspects of government policy in relation to the third sector.
The group is made up of twelve members from various voluntary and community
organisations working in different service sectors, including health,
education, employment, and housing. Organisations working with black and
minority ethnic (BME) communities are represented as well as those active
in rural or faith activity or in the community or social enterprise field.
The composition of the group also includes a spread of regional expertise.
Members are selected because of their public service delivery experience
and their understanding and experience of wider VCS issues rather than to
represent their organisations. Selection was originally through a peer
nomination process with VCS members of the Cross-Cutting Review (CCR)
steering group determining the final composition.
The appointments will be made with effect from 1 April 2007 for an initial
period of one year with the possibility of extension.
