About the requirement

From the notice

The Valuation Tribunal Service (VTS) is an arm's length body sponsored by the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). We are responsible for administering the Valuation Tribunal for England (VTE). The Valuation Tribunal for England hears and determines disputes that are made by ratepayers and/or council tax payers because they are challenging decisions taken by the local council or the Valuation Office on their council tax or business rates. It is constituted of three Vice Presidents (one of whom is currently discharging the functions of the Tribunal President whilst recruitment to this role is ongoing), 141 Senior Members (who chair Tribunal panels) and 39 ordinary Members (who complete panels of 2-3 overall). The Senior Member and Member positions are all voluntary, and there is no requirement to be legally trained or hold any other professional qualification. Support we are looking for: In February 2027 (dates tbc), the JAC will be launching a new recruitment exercise for VTE Senior Members and Members, where we anticipate looking to recruit a new intake of 150 individuals. An online pre-application seminar for prospective applicants will likely be held in mid-January (hosted by the JAC). We do not believe that the existing marketing approach of the JAC will attract sufficient applicants, nor a diverse profile of professional backgrounds beyond lawyers.
