Chair of the Boardclosed

Deadline for applications: 3rd September 2023

Inclusive Boards is pleased to be working with The Sports Council Trust Company (SCTC) in their search for a new Chair. 

SCTC is a subsidiary of Sport England responsible for managing Sport England’s property portfolio, including the three National Sports Centres (NSCs): Bisham Abbey NSC; Lilleshall NSC; and Plas y Brenin – the National Centre for the Outdoors. It also owns the Redgrave and Pinsent Rowing Lake currently leased to British Rowing.  These four facilities help achieve SCTC's primary goal of helping members of the public play more sports and enjoy the many benefits of regular physical activity.  

SCTC are seeking a committed Chair who can lead, working closely with a range of stakeholders. They are looking for an individual who understands, appreciates and is motivated by the impact sport and physical activity has, across physical and mental health, for individuals and communities, and for the economy. 

SCTC are particularly interested to hear from candidates with experience in leisure facilities management and experience of charring charitable organisations. 

Right now, the opportunities to get involved in sport and activity depend too much on your background, your gender, your bank balance and your postcode. Sport England and SCTC are determined to tackle this and unlock the advantages of sport and physical activity for everyone.
