The Director of Corporate Services is at the heart of ensuring that this growth enables the organisation to deliver greater impact, delivering the 2018 - 23 strategy as a thriving organisation with excellent infrastructure and facilities for our members, staff and volunteers, an approach to risk that facilitates innovation and adaptability, effective governance and a clear approach to planning and performance and impact measurement.
