MSP Board Member Recruitment Pack (February 2025)

 

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 new Board Members, who can help build on this work to set the strategic direction for the next three years and can challenge, support and lead the team to success.  One of these new members will need to assume the role of Senior Independent Board Member.

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 Board Members who align with this vision and are dedicated to driving the growth of a ‘movement for movement’ across the Liverpool City Region.  We believe our 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 send the following to admin@merseysidesport.com with ‘MSP Board Member Application’ as your subject line:
