Voluntary and unpaid role: Right First Time UK Ltd currently appoints Directors on a voluntary and unpaid basis. The role does not carry wages, salary or a Director's fee. Reasonable authorised expenses are separate from payment for the role and must be agreed in writing in advance in accordance with RFTUK's expenses arrangements. Purchases made without prior written approval may not be reimbursed.

Formal appointment: if you are selected for appointment as a company director, you will also need to meet the legal Companies House requirements that apply at that time, including identity verification and providing the required Companies House personal code.
