Vacancies

We have a maximum of 12 trustees at any time. Trustees are recruited to serve a four-year term, with an option of a second term of four years by mutual agreement.

As part of our Trustee succession planning, we welcome expressions of interest from potential future trustees. The Access Sport Trustee role can be summarised as follows:

• This is a voluntary (unpaid) role; however, we do pay all reasonable costs incurred as part of the role.

• You will actively participate in four board meetings each year, which will be held in London and can be attended in person or online. We strongly encourage new Trustees to attend some of the Board meetings in person in order to meet other Trustees and the Senior Leadership Team.

• In addition, you will lead, assist and/ or participate in one of our committees or working groups (including Finance & Audit, Income Generation, Nominations, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion), which currently meet online.

• If appropriate, you may also be asked to join one of our local fundraising Steering Groups in Bristol, Manchester, and Oxford.

• The total time commitment is an average of 1 day a month.

Trustee qualities, skills, and experience. The Charities Act 2011 defines charity trustees as the people responsible under the charity’s governing document for controlling the administration and management of the charity. Within Access Sport, they are known collectively as the Board of Trustees.
