The BKC is a non-profit organisation, with a Board of Directors which consists of senior members and representatives from a variety of Kickboxing associations and an Executive Board made up of sector specialists and passionate supporters of our sport.
Our immediate goal is the recognition of Kickboxing under the Sports Councils and to gain official National Governing Body status for the sport. To that end, we have been working for nearly 10 years to create a system of governance, guidance and support for the sport, agreeing upon its direction and development by way of democratic processes which aim to give control over the sport to the sport itself.
Job Description
As Equality, Diversity & Inclusion Officer, you will champion the inclusive nature of both the BKC and the sport of Kickboxing. Although the role is not completely autonomous, as decisions which impact either the sport or the BKC must be put to a vote, your voice will be heard at AGMs, EGMs and regular ongoing discussions regarding the governance of the BKC.
Responsibilities include:
- Ensuring the validity of the BKC’s Equality, Diversity and Inclusion policies and procedures, especially in regard to compliance with the Voluntary Code of Good Governance and other sporting governance codes
- Ensuring that the above are implemented across the organisation and promulgated throughout its membership
- Liaising with the Chairman, Secretary and other Standards Board members to ensure collaborative delivery of all duties
- Forming and coordinating an Equality and Diversity committee/team where necessary
- Liaising and coordinating with external organisations such as the English Federation of Disability Sport, UK Deaf Sport, Women's Sports Network and the Sports Councils to ensure effective delivery of both their and the BKC's projects regarding Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
- Formulating, planning and delivering internal initiatives aimed at improving Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within the sport and the BKC itself
This includes Board Members, Committee Members, Officials, Coaches, Athletes and Participants at all levels of the sport and across all disciplines
Experience
· Some experience and knowledge of Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in sport would be ideal
· A good knowledge of the sport would also be beneficial
· In addition, experience of project work, creating and understanding reports is essential
