Job Description
The future of English badminton is very bright. We remain as committed as ever to enable more people to take part in badminton and to see more people winning medals at the very highest level.
• Do you have a passion for badminton?
• Would you like to have an opportunity to shape the future of the sport?
• Do you want to be involved in a world leading system which looks to consistently win medals at World, Olympic and Paralympic level?
If the answer to most of the questions is yes, why not join Badminton England’s Performance Board. We are looking to appoint members to this group to add new skills, experiences and individual perspectives to the team.
If you have a passion for badminton at an elite performance level and want to be involved in identifying what it takes to win and learning how we support the steady stream of players at every stage of the pathway, this could be the role for you.
The role is a voluntary one but travel expenses will be paid for meetings held at the National Badminton Centre, Milton Keynes. A minimum two year commitment from successful applicants is sought (attending approximately four meetings per year).
This is an opportunity to provide effective challenge and contributions to Badminton England’s future through the National Governing Body level and we are keen to hear from you.
If you are interested in this opportunity or have any questions relating to the role, please send an email to Performance Board Chair, Alison Odell, (alisonodell@badmintonengland.co.uk) by 2nd May 2017 with details of any previous badminton and/or related experience, a brief comment as to why you would like to join the Board and your contact details. Further details are on our website: www.badmintonengland.co.uk/careers
Expressions of interest will be considered and shortlisted with the intention of an informal interview if relevant.
We are committed to equality and diversity in Badminton England and positive about the increased strength having a more diverse governance structure can bring. We therefore welcome applicants from all backgrounds and with a diverse range of skills, particularly women, disabled people and those who are from an ethnic minority.
*The next meeting of the Performance Board will be July / August 2017.
