Deputy Chair and 2 Board Members

London TravelWatch
London Travelwatch Offices - Europoint, 5-11 Lavington Street, London, SE1 0NZ
Vice Chair - circa £8000 Board Member - circa £5000
Hackney

We are independent from transport operators, and are sponsored and funded by the London Assembly, part of the Greater London Authority, who also appoint our Board members. In addition to our important policy, research, and campaigning work, we are also the appeals body for complaints made about Transport for London, Eurostar, and some rail companies. If you live or work in London, you will know that transport in London is essential to your quality of life. It’s one of the things you talk about with your friends and family and can make the difference for you between a good day and a bad day. In London TravelWatch our mission is to ensure that London’s transport offer meets the needs of everyone who depends on it. That includes responding to the changing landscape – from new forms of transport, climate change, lifestyle changes such as hybrid working, or wider pressures on the cost of living.

THE ROLE

Our Deputy Chair and two new Board Members will play a vital role in helping us achieve our goals. We are looking for three great people who can help us continue our important work and steer our organisation forward with even greater impact. Could that be you? Are you someone who lives in or around London and regularly uses its transport system? Can you bring lived experience of how transport shapes quality of life in and around London? Are you comfortable operating in a complex political environment? Do you have direct expertise in using analysis and campaigning to achieve positive change?

We welcome applications from candidates with a wide range of backgrounds, interests, and career histories. We will particularly welcome interest from the rising generations who travel across the London TravelWatch area. If you believe you have the background, experience and personal qualities needed, we would be delighted to hear from you.
