Next Charity Commission chair to work only two days a week

Governance | Celina Ribeiro | 6 Jun 2012

The next chair of the Charity Commission will have to do the job in a day less a week, and for less money, than the outgoing chair Dame Suzi Leather.

The Cabinet Office has today posted the advertisement for the position of chair of the Charity Commission. The position is listed as being for two days a week and at a salary of £50,000 per annum. The salary, and the time expectations, are both less than for the current chair, Dame Suzi Leather.

The latest Charity Commission resource accounts list Dame Suzi’s salary as between £80,000 and £85,000 per year for 2009/2010 and 2010/2011. She was also employed on a three-day-a-week basis.

The Charity Commission has suffered staff cuts as a result of government cuts to its budget. Funding to the Charity Commission dropped from £29.3m in 2010/11 to a budgeted £21.3m in 2014/15.
