Vacancy Description

Members with Board level Economic experience.

The AFPRB provides independent, evidence-based advice on Armed Forces’ pay to the Prime Minister and SofS for Defence. In making recommendations, it takes into account the need to recruit, retain and motivate suitable people in the context of Service life, Government policies for improving services, funding, the inflation target and the need for Armed Forces’ pay to be broadly comparable with pay levels in civilian life.

Person Specification

We are seeking an individual with Board level Economic experience. The successful candidate will need to be able to demonstrate the following essential criteria:

  • Proven Economic experience with the ability to evaluate large amounts of detailed written and oral information, and to use it for developing recommendations.
  • The ability to work collaboratively and effectively on a Board, providing evidence-based arguments and listening to the views of other members.
  • Strong influencing and communication skills; in particular, the ability to relate to a diverse range of stakeholders, and gain their confidence, including Ministers, Review Body colleagues, Senior Government officials and those within the remit group.
  • Understanding of the broader context of changes in public sector management and pay, and the ability to assess how these might affect Service personnel.
  • Sharp and clear thinking, with the ability to debate and put forward considered argument
