Recruitment for Independent Chair

Fearless Women is an organisation driving change in women’s sport. We are a limited company, established in 2020, run by Sue Anstiss MBE and Kate Hannon.

In 2023 we received a three-year grant from Sport England to operate the not-for-profit elements of our business - the Women’s Sport Collective, The Game Changers podcast and an educational programme to encourage more women to work in the sports industry.

We are now seeking an Independent Chair for our board of directors - someone who shares our passion for creating a gender-equal sports industry.

Applicants for this voluntary role will have broad knowledge of the sports industry, experience of the challenges facing women in sport, board or committee experience and a solid understanding of the fundamentals of good governance.

As Board Chair, you will be a champion for Fearless Women, adding value through your experience and skills to ensure the board is focused on our mission whilst fulfilling the statutory and governance requirements of government, partners, stakeholders and members.

Diversity is at the heart of our work to provide equal opportunities for all. We are particularly keen to see candidates from a wide range of backgrounds to ensure we are representative of the population and our community.

All the information you need should be contained in this recruitment pack, but if you have any questions do please get in touch with Sue Anstiss or Kate Hannon.
