Chair – Table Tennis England

About the job

We’re delighted to be leading the search for a new Chair, on behalf of Table Tennis England.

The Board at Table Tennis England is seeking an individual with outstanding leadership skills and achievement, with the passion and commitment to devote to the Board and stakeholders at this exciting time for the sport, representing Table Tennis England at a variety of levels ranging from local clubs and leagues through to the funding bodies, government, Great Britain Table Tennis, the European Table Tennis Union, and the International Table Tennis Federation.

The successful candidate will Chair a Board of similarly committed non-executive Directors and work closely with the Chief Executive. The role of the Chair is to provide leadership and direction to the Board, enabling the Board to fulfil their responsibilities for the overall governance and strategic direction of the organisation. The Chair will also have a close relationship with the Company Members, including the National Council which plays a key role in communication between the board and the membership.

The ideal candidate is likely to have strong experience gained in a similar role within the sport sector, not for profit or wider corporate sectors. Experience of working in an organisation that has a membership would also be helpful. In addition, this person is likely to have experience as a Trustee or Non-Executive Director with a strong understanding of risk and governance together with a collaborative approach and desire to bring their skills and commitment to further develop table tennis across the country at grass roots and performance level and ensuring our sport remains inclusive to all. This position has a 4 year period of office and that can be renewed for one further 4 year cycle.
