not a current or recent employee or councillor of the London Borough of Bromley (within the last five years), or a relative or close friend of such a person.

Some knowledge of corporate governance in local government or public bodies would be an advantage, but no particular qualifications or experience are required.
This is an unpaid and voluntary position, and would be for an initial period of one year.
