The Opportunity

We are looking for two Non-Executive Directors to join our Board and help shape the future of gymnastics across the UK.

We would like to hear from people who can bring significant experience in commercial leadership and/or digital transformation. You do not need previous experience in sport to apply. What matters most is your ability to contribute thoughtful, independent judgement and your commitment to helping gymnastics become more inclusive, safe and welcoming for everyone.

You will play an important part in helping us deliver our vision and next five year strategic plan, Gymnastics 31. This will build on our past success and further develop the sport in the UK and internationally on the journey to LA and beyond.

We know that effective Boards benefit from different perspectives, experiences and ways of thinking. We particularly welcome applications from people whose backgrounds, identities or lived experiences are less represented in sport leadership.

In this role, you will:

  • Contribute to strategic discussions and informed Board decisions
  • Provide constructive challenge and support to the executive team
  • Help strengthen governance, risk oversight, welfare and safety
  • Act as an ambassador for British Gymnastics and its values
  • Support Board committees where your experience can add value

Key Requirements

  • Significant experience in commercial leadership and/or digital transformation
  • Sound judgement, integrity and a commitment to openness and accountability
  • Understanding of, or willingness to develop knowledge of, the legal duties and responsibilities of company directors
  • Ability to communicate clearly, listen actively and work collaboratively with others
  • Commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion, welfare and safeguarding
  • Capacity to prepare for and attend Board and committee meetings, and to engage with stakeholders when needed

Additional information

Time commitment: Board and committee meetings, preparation time and stakeholder engagement as required

Remuneration: £250 per day / £125 per half day for Board meetings, plus expenses

Location: Board meetings are held in person, usually at the NEC Crowne Plaza or Lilleshall, Shropshire, and online

Further details can be found in the attached Board Non-Executive Director Information Pack.
