The expertise and guidance of the TDA will support with the organisations AI readiness assessment, its deployment plans, as well as the development of credible, high-value use cases, helping end users articulate operational problems, success criteria, constraints and deployment pathways. HOW YOU WILL MAKE AN IMPACT To form a balanced team of Advisors we are looking for a range of applicants to deliver the following responsibilities across the cohort.

Advice is aligned to recognised frameworks (e.g., ISO/IEC 23894 AI risk management, ISO/IEC 42001 AI management systems, ISO/IEC 27001/27701, NIST AI RMF) and emerging AI assurance standards from the National Physical Laboratory. Evaluate & Monitor Progress: TDAs track organisational progress throughout the deployment journey, providing targeted technical assurance input for high-risk or complex projects. They use the baseline assessment and collect evidence to support stage gates and stepwise funding decisions. TDAs should flag concerns early, advise when a deployment should be paused or should not proceed, and recommend appropriate monitoring mechanisms to sustain performance post go-live. Share Domain Expertise: TDAs will utilise their expertise in one or more of the Industrial Strategy Eight sectors (Advance Manufacturing, Clean Energy Industries, Creative Industries, Defence, Digital and Technologies, Financial Services, Life Sciences, Professional & Business Services) to guide organisations with their AI deployment journey.

In this role, you will help inform our long-term planning, offer high-level guidance on expedition medical safety on planned and future programme destinations and operational delivery.

Charity Description British Exploring Society is a world-class youth development charity with a unique heritage founded on the belief that challenging experiences can transform lives, empowering and equipping young people with the courage, integrity, skills, resilience and motivation to make the most of their future. We prepare young people for adventures and expeditions virtually, and in remote locations in the UK and overseas where they face challenges, acquire outdoor skills and learn about themselves - as well as undertaking projects with content relevant to their lives and to the fragile environments that they explore. The results are transformative - not just in terms of practical skills and resilience, but in a new-found confidence and self-belief which they carry forward to their future life. More than this, through their adventure together, our young people forge friendships for life and become part of a unique supportive and continuing community of explorers with shared experiences, values and perspectives on the world. Our trustees Our trustees play a vital role at British Exploring Society. They have independent control over, and legal responsibility for, our management and administration. Since 1932 we have always relied on the time individuals donate to us, and our trustees are a cornerstone of that culture of professional volunteering. We want our trustees to enjoy the time they give to us, and to feel motivated and uplifted by the work we do. We do everything we can to involve our trustees in the life of the organisation, to visit and get involved in our activities and to feel the positive impact of their contributions. Our trustees ensure that we comply with the law, with our Articles, and that we continuously strive to fulfil our charitable purpose.
