What is a Co-optee?

Corporate Governance & Audit Committee is an essential part of the Council's governance to ensure that its decision-making, administrative and compliance processes are transparent, accountable, and open.

Whilst Members of the Committee bring democratic accountability and have a range of skills and knowledge, the intention is that a co-optee will be able to bring different skills and perspective.

We are looking for a Co-optee with an interest in how Kirklees Council and its partners operate to meet the needs of Kirklees residents.

 You will also need to have;

  • Effective communication - particularly listening and questioning- skills.
  • The ability to weigh up information to reach conclusions and recommend actions.
  • An interest in Kirklees matters

For a full list of the role requirements please see the attached Role Profile.

  • You must not have a current outstanding complaint against the Council.
  • In the past 5 years, you must not have been offered advice from anyone from the Council concerning your conduct or contact with the Council.
