Goalball UK is looking for two new Non-Executive Directors to join its Board of Trustees and help shape the next stage of its development.
These are voluntary, unpaid trusteeships. Appropriate out-of-pocket expenses will be paid.
Goalball UK is the National Governing Body for the Paralympic sport of goalball in the UK, overseeing the sport from grassroots participation through to the Paralympics, with more than 30 active clubs across the country. The sport helps blind and partially sighted people build independence and well-being while providing an inclusive community and a strong sense of belonging.
Areas of experience sought (one of two)
- Finance and financial oversight: senior financial experience to scrutinise accounts, budgets and cashflow forecasts, and challenge and gain assurance from the external auditors and Chief Financial Officer.
- Income generation and charity fundraising: help shape the approach to attracting funding, building donor and partner relationships and developing sustainable sources of income.
About the roles
Non-Executive Directors provide independent oversight and constructive challenge, working with fellow trustees and the senior leadership team to support good decision-making and effective governance, and contribute to strategic direction, risk management and organisational performance.
Who they are looking for
- Experience of leading and influencing others
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- The ability to work constructively and collaboratively
- A genuine commitment to Goalball UK's mission and values
- Experience in finance and auditing, or income generation and charity fundraising
Previous experience as a Non-Executive Director or trustee would be helpful but is not essential. Experience or knowledge of disability sport, the not-for-profit sector, marketing and communications, social value or environmental matters, and lived experience, are also welcome.
Time commitment
- Approximately four Board meetings a year, a mix of in-person and remote
- Relevant committee and sub-committee meetings
- Attendance at other events where agreed
- Time to review, comment on and prepare Board papers
How to apply
