Job Description: British Wrestling is seeking a high-calibre Home Nations Director for England to join our Board during an era of rapid growth. This position is primarily a non-executive Director role, with responsibility for the strategic leadership, financial oversight, and legal compliance of the national governing body.

As a member of the British Wrestling Board, you will work alongside independent directors and fellow Home Nation representatives to drive our 2025–2030 strategy, ‘Unleashing Potential’. You will play a critical role in scrutinising management performance, mitigating organisational risks, and ensuring we remain an inclusive, world-leading wrestling nation.

• Growing the Sport: Accelerating the growth of the English wrestling community by increasing club affiliation and individual memberships across all three regions.
• Communication & Collaboration: Improving the synergy between regions and clubs to ensure a unified approach to development and the sharing of best practices.
• Transparency & Governance: Enhancing transparency in decision-making processes and ensuring that all regional activities comply with the highest standards of sports governance.
• Unity of Purpose: While providing insight into English issues, you will maintain a collective responsibility to act in the best interests of British Wrestling as a whole.

The successful candidate will demonstrate:
• Experience at an executive or non-executive level, with the ability to contribute to complex strategy discussions.
• Significant knowledge of the sport in England, whether through administration, grassroots development, or performance programmes.
• The ability to influence stakeholders at all levels and challenge constructively within a Board environment.
• A proven track record of promoting diversity and inclusion.
