Job Description
Gymnastics isn’t just a sport—it’s a powerful force for change.

We believe in the power of gymnastics to change lives, enrich communities, and deliver an uplifting gymnastics experience for all across the UK.

At the heart of this are the people who make up the gymnastics community – gymnasts, parents, coaches, clubs, officials and volunteers – working together in communities across the country. As the national governing body for gymnastics in the UK, we work in partnership with our members to lead, support and inspire, helping to shape a bright future for our sport.

Our vision, Leap Without Limits, is underpinned by the values of being Aspirational, Supportive and Inclusive. Together, we’re building a sport where everyone feels welcomed, encouraged and able to thrive. This role is an important part of making that vision a reality.

The Opportunity

We are looking for two Non-Executive Directors to join our Board and help shape the future of gymnastics across the UK.

We would like to hear from people who can bring significant experience in commercial leadership and/or digital transformation. You do not need previous experience in sport to apply. What matters most is your ability to contribute thoughtful, independent judgement and your commitment to helping gymnastics become more inclusive, safe and welcoming for everyone.

You will play an important part in helping us deliver our vision and next five year strategic plan, Gymnastics 31. This will build on our past success and further develop the sport in the UK and internationally on the journey to LA and beyond.

We know that effective Boards benefit from different perspectives, experiences and ways of thinking. We particularly welcome applications from people whose backgrounds, identities or lived experiences are less represented in sport leadership.

In this role, you will:

* Contribute to strategic discussions and informed Board decisions
* Provide constructive challenge and support to the executive team
* Help strengthen governance, risk oversight, welfare and safety
* Act as an ambassador for British Gymnastics and its values
* Support Board committees where your experience can add value

Key Requirements

* Significant experience in commercial leadership and/or digital transformation
* Sound judgement, integrity and a commitment to openness and accountability
* Understanding of, or willingness to develop knowledge of, the legal duties and responsibilities of company directors
* Ability to communicate clearly, listen actively and work collaboratively with others
* Commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion, welfare and safeguarding
* Capacity to prepare for and attend Board and committee meetings, and to engage with stakeholders when needed
How to apply
For further details about these opportunities please visit https://britishgymnastics.jobs.people-first.com/jobs/details/recruitment%2Fjobdetails%2F31a3aaaf-f083-45bd-a31c-19ef481da260 We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive organisation. We particularly welcome applications from women, disabled people, people from ethnically diverse communities and people who identify as LGBTQIA+, as these groups are currently less represented in our workforce. If you would like to discuss any reasonable adjustments or access requirements for the recruitment process, please let us know so we can support you.
