Independent Non-Executive Director

Street Football Wales is looking for new trustees to join its board. Our trustees work to support the organisation to realise its vision of a fair and inclusive Wales, where everyone can achieve their full potential through the transformative power of football.
We do this through the creation of safe and welcoming spaces where everyone can experience the joy of football. We believe in the power of the game to bring fun and fulfilment to all, regardless of background or ability. Through football, we promote personal growth and the development of healthy inclusive communities where every individual matters and is valued.
Trustees set the strategic direction, oversee the work of the organisation, manage risk, and establish policies and procedures to govern organisational activity. Key to the role is ensuring good governance practice is in place. It's an exciting time to join the board, as Street Football Wales has consolidated its growth since becoming a charity, and is exploring further opportunities for development with the creation of a new three year strategy.
About you
Committed to sport for social good, you'll have the ability to think strategically and creatively, and to respond to the needs of the organisation. You'll also be able to commit the time to fulfil the role of trustee and help us meet our strategic objectives and demonstrate impact.
Street Football Wales is strongly committed to equality, and recognises that diverse boards are more effective, and result in better governance practice.
We also value the importance and the lived experience of people who have an awareness of the street football journey as a previous participant, and are able to provide this valuable insight and understanding. Knowledge or an understanding of the Welsh language is desirable but not essential.
We are also particularly interested in receiving applications from people that have knowledge and experience in the following key areas:
<ul>
<li>Corporate fundraising &amp; income generation</li>
<li>Commercial acumen &amp; entrepreneurship</li>
<li>Legal expertise</li>
<li>Marketing</li>
<li>Monitoring &amp; evaluation</li>
<li>Human Resources</li>
</ul>
Street Football Wales is devoted to diversity, equality and inclusion, and strongly committed to the representation of people with protected characteristics. We recognise that diverse boards are more effective, enabling better charity governance. We are therefore keen to attract applications from under-represented groups including ethnic minorities, people with a disability and people with gender diverse identities.
Welsh language skills are desirable but not essential.
Roles
As part of this process, we are looking for Trustees who could also occupy the following key roles:
<ul>
<li>Safeguarding lead</li>
<li>Chairperson</li>
<li>Secretary</li>
</ul>
 Expectations
There are six scheduled Trustee meetings a year plus an AGM, held place bi-monthly and are blended: so you can attend online or in person. Each meeting normally lasts two hours. In addition, Street Football Wales holds several additional events such as four inclusion-based football tournaments across Wales which Trustees can attend, if able.
There are also four network events where we bring Trustees, partners and stakeholders together support the work of the charity, such as through fundraising or awareness raising. To Apply
Please submit an updated CV and covering letter ahead of the deadline on 31 January 2025.
You will be notified by 14 February if you have been selected for an interview, which will take place during the week of 3 March.
It is anticipated that the interviews will take place remotely using Microsoft Teams. We will try to be flexible and find a time that suits both you and the panel.
