"We are looking for people from all walks of life with different experiences and skills who reflect our wonderfully diverse city and ensure that our panel is inclusive and representative.
“In particular, we welcome applications from students, graduates, retired professionals or professionals looking to retire soon so, if you want to make a real difference in the lives of the children and young people of Wolverhampton, please get in touch."
