Recruitment begins for new Chair and non-executive board members of Warrenpoint Harbour Authority

Warrenpoint Harbour is one of the North’s main commercial ports and its geographic position constitutes a major strategic advantage located halfway on the main strategic network of the Belfast to Dublin economic corridor.

Minister O’Dowd said: “These are key positions and I would encourage anyone who considers that they meet the criteria for the posts and feel that they want to make a positive contribution to the work of Warrenpoint Harbour Authority to apply.”

The current remuneration is approximately £24,225 per annum (under review) for the Chair, based on anticipated attendance of four business days per month and approximately £8,275 per annum for Members, based on anticipated attendance of two business days per month. The Members/Chair will be expected to attend Board meetings and other ad hoc meetings as required. This may involve a commitment both inside and outside of normal working hours, including representing WHA at occasional evening engagements. The appointments will be effective from 1 February 2025 for a four-year term.

Applications will be welcomed from all sections of the community. The closing date is 1 November 2024.

Women, younger people, people with disabilities and people from ethnic minority communities are currently under-represented on DfI Boards. Applications from members of these groups would be particularly welcome.
