EAUC Scotland is seeking applications from dedicated EAUC members to join its Advisory Group (AG).  

Craig Anderson and convenor Billy Currie will soon reach the end of their maximum terms after four years of supporting and guiding the EAUC team in Scotland. We have now opened applications for these upcoming vacant positions. We particularly welcome applications from individuals: 

• working on/within estates decarbonisation and adaptation in a college 

• working on/within learning and teaching or organisational development in a university 

We are also open to applications to contest the position currently held by Lisa McGovern, who will be reaching the end of her first term and plans to stand for an additional two-year term. For this position, we would particularly welcome applications from those: 

• working on/within learning and teaching or organisational development in a college 

If you are not from the above professional background but work within a Scottish college or university, you are still very welcome to apply. Applicants can be at any stage of their professional development, and the EAUC is committed to equality and valuing diversity within its workforce, trustees and AG members. 

What is the Advisory Group? 

The AG consists of two representatives from the Scottish college sector and two representatives from the Scottish university sector. The group meets online approximately six times a year, at times to suit the group members. Each member of the AG serves for a period of two years, with the possibility of re-election for a further two-year term. 

The AG’s aims and objectives are to: 

• offer guidance and support to EAUC Scotland in implementing the current funded programme’s outcome agreement and relevant strategies, and the broader EAUC UK strategic plan

• provide added value to the core activities of EAUC by providing a regional focus specific to Scotland

• encourage and support sustainable development, environmental performance and social responsibility throughout the Further and Higher Education sector in Scotland

• provide a specialist focus on relevant issues by facilitating the exchange of information and the dissemination of best practice informed by those specific Scottish issues

• report, via the EAUC Scotland convenor, to the EAUC Board of Trustees on EAUC Scotland activities

Why should you apply? 

We asked our outgoing members to share their thoughts on why you should apply to join the Advisory Group. 

Billy Currie, AG convenor and Director of Estates and Sustainability at Dumfries and Galloway College said:

"EAUC Scotland do so much to help our sector, ensuring that Scotland leads the way on sustainability matters. Joining the advisory group not only helped me gain the insight into the level of work but I was able to work with colleagues to help provide guidance and opinion on the way forward for the EAUC. 

 I would strongly recommend putting yourself forward and help continue the amazing work across our Sector." 

Dr Craig Anderson, Senior Lecturer in Behavioural Science and Sustainable Business at the University of Stirling said:

"Working on the EAUC Scotland Advisory Group is a fantastic way to upskill yourself in FE and HE process and have an impact. It has undoubtedly had a positive impact on my knowledge and career."
