MSP Board Recruitment Pack October 2024

 

MSP are part of a national network of 43 Active Partnerships dedicated to fostering environments where everyone can stay active every day.  We collaborate closely with Sport England to implement the ‘Uniting the Movement’ strategy at the local level.

We have undergone significant change in recent years to create the desired future-fit organisation, we are now entering the next exciting phase on our journey and have recently appointed a new CEO.  We are seeking a Chair, who can build on this work to set the strategic direction for the next three years and can challenge, support and lead the team to success.

The new Chair will also play a crucial role in recruiting three to four additional Board Members to replace those whose terms are ending.  One of these new members will need to assume the role of Vice Chair/Senior Independent Director.

As we operate across the Liverpool City Region, we are adopting a place-based approach to address inequalities.  Our goal is to deepen our local expertise and strengthen connections with people, community groups and organisations throughout the region.

We are looking for a Chair who aligns with this vision and is dedicated to driving the growth of a ‘movement for movement’ across the Liverpool City Region.

We believe our Chair and Board Members should reflect Merseyside, Liverpool City Region and its people.  We are particularly keen to hear from people from underrepresented groups as we know this will allow us to make better, more informed decisions, provide wider perspectives and drive change and improve performance.

If you wish to apply please supply the following:

  • an up-to-date CV.
  • a supporting statement or covering letter of no more than two pages, which fully addresses your interest and suitability for the role, being clear to reference your specific expertise in relation to your understanding of the role of the Active Partnership (MSP) and being clear about what you would bring to the role.
  • details of two referees who can speak authoritatively about you (referees will NOT be contacted without your prior consent).
  • Equal Opportunities Monitoring form

If you wish to receive a hard copy of the content, or in an alternative format please get in touch.  Supporting statements, covering letters can be accepted in written, video or audio format.  Candidates needing any assistance and or adaptations to complete their application, please contact admin@merseysidesport.com.

Please email your submission to our admin box (admin@merseysidesport.com) with ‘Chair for MSP’ in the subject line of your email.
