  • Do you have a passion for driving participation in sport and physical activity at grassroots and national level? Sport England is appointing one Trustee, with a deep knowledge and experience in financial management, to the Board of its subsidiary, the Sports Council Trust Company (SCTC).
     
     As a member of the SCTC Board you will help to oversee the objectives of the charity, including the oversight of the National Sports Centres which help us achieve our primary goal of helping members of the public play more sport and enjoy the many benefits of regular physical activity.
     
     We particularly encourage individuals from all our diverse communities, who meet the criteria, to consider applying for the role, to ensure the Board represents the communities it serves. The role is a great opportunity for individuals considering Executive or Board level experience.
