Non-Executive Directors x 3
Salary: Voluntary, with reasonable expenses
Location: Abbey Park, Stareton, Warwickshire
The BEF is seeking 3 independent non-executive directors as part of the process for compliance with the Code for Sports Governance. Applicants should possess the commitment, drive and skills to make a tangible contribution to the long term success of the BEF for the benefit of its members and the broader equestrian community. Equally important will be influencing and negotiation skills, with the credibility to build trust and nurture strong relationships with key internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
Candidates should be able to demonstrate significant board experience within either the commercial, sports or voluntary sector. In addition to these essential criteria, the BEF would be particularly interested in receiving applications from individuals with knowledge and experience in one or more of the following areas: human resources, marketing and communications, participation, integrity, volunteer engagement, athlete welfare or finance.
These positions are voluntary, with reasonable expenses, and offer the opportunity for close involvement in an exciting phase in the development of equestrian sport. Knowledge of the equestrian industry or of another sport would be an advantage but is not essential. There are approximately 10 meetings of the Board held each year at Abbey Park, Stareton, Warwickshire.
In line with our Equality and Diversity Policy, we are keen to achieve a diverse Board of Directors and would welcome applications from those communities under-represented on the Board, in particular people from ethnic minorities and people with disabilities.
