Tile Hill Executive Recruitment

Non-Executive Director We are looking to recruit a new Non-Executive Director to sit alongside our LLP Board Chair, and two Board Directors. Working closely with our Chair, Nicola Sawford, the independent Non-Executive Director will be joining an impactful board that works closely with the Executive, the LLP Members and their representatives. It is an exciting time to join the MKDP Board as we work towards the delivery of our Business Plan and we are seeking a high calibre individual that share our passion for placemaking. As the partnership embarks on a new chapter, we remain committed to expanding our placemaking efforts and building on the successes we've already achieved. In a time of economic uncertainty, the property, regeneration, and development sectors are rapidly evolving, and our Board plays a pivotal role in navigating potential challenges while capitalising on emerging opportunities. With a diverse range of property and development initiatives, it is essential that we ensure the right blend of skills and experience on our Board. We are seeking an individual with experience in city centre regeneration, particularly in collaboration with joint ventures (JVs) and the public sector. The ideal candidate will complement and support our executive team-not as an executive director, but as someone with valuable industry connections and practical experience. Experience could include an understanding of joint ventures, various development approaches, and a clear perspective on planning and regeneration schemes. We are not looking for a first-time non-executive director; instead, we seek someone with proven expertise and a broad perspective on how these initiatives succeed. The ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of the broader environment in which we operate. Your role as an ambassador will involve collaboration with elected Members, council staff, and external partners to help shape a successful future for Milton Keynes. While we take our responsibilities seriously, we value the positive relationships we cultivate with the Executive, respecting both professional expertise and appropriate boundaries. Our Board Directors act as critical friends, ensuring the effective delivery of our business plan objectives. Our Board's culture is open, discursive, and transparent. Remuneration £22,000 per annum. Term Two to four-year term. Commitment Required The Board currently meets approximately eight times a year. In addition, there are two committees which meet four times a year (quarterly), and project/strategy sessions. NEDs are expected to attend board meetings and join both committees (and any additional committees created during their term). Board meeting and project/strategy attendance is in person in Milton Keynes although virtual attendance is possible by exception. The committees are currently meeting virtually. Further ad hoc meetings (such as working groups or events) may be rearranged when required. Enough time should also be set aside to prepare for meetings, undertake learning and development and miscellaneous representative engagements. All ultimately resulting in a maximum of 30 days per year. Closing Date: Monday 16th of February 2026 To apply: To apply, please submit an up-to-date copy of your CV (three sides of A4 maximum), along with a supporting statement (three sides of A4 maximum) detailing your experience, achievements and addressing the key criteria for the role set out on this site and using examples to demonstrate how you meet the requirements.
