On the go: The Pension Protection Fund is taking a novel approach to recruitment, seeking a board member who has been compensated by the fund.

An advert on its website says that it is seeking up to three non-executive directors for its board. One of the roles is for a qualified accountant, the other is for a commercial lawyer.

It is also taking a more consumer focus, looking to hear from “people entitled to or in receipt of compensation from us, or members of a pension scheme that has been through our assessment period.”

Non-executive directors are paid £18,000 per annum and are typically expected to commit around 26 days’ work, largely attending board meetings, additional committee meetings and preparing for meetings.

The closing date for applications is 22 March.
