**Workplace:** remote

**Department:** Workforce Governance and Sporting Bodies

## Description

### We are seeking individuals from a wide range of backgrounds to join the Advisory Board for CIMSPA’s Workforce Governance and Registration Scheme project.

CIMSPA has been commissioned by Sport England to deliver this ambitious project over a three-year period (2026–2029). The aim is to ensure that everyone participating in sport and physical activity can enjoy safe, high-quality experiences, supported by a skilled and trusted workforce in a positive environment.

The success of this project depends on meaningful collaboration with the sector. This Advisory Board will play a critical role in shaping and supporting its delivery.

As an Advisory Board member, you will provide strategic insight, advice and guidance to CIMSPA, helping to shape the development and implementation of the workforce governance and registration scheme.

You will contribute to key decisions that will have a long-term impact on the sport and physical activity workforce and the organisations that oversee it.

**Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:**

The Advisory Board will oversee three core workstreams:

-   Ensuring sports are register-ready
-   Developing the Registrar function to oversee accredited register holders
-   Leading the digital development of a publicly searchable national register

Board members will also contribute to important decisions such as:

-   Defining the level of scrutiny applied within the system
-   Agreeing monitoring and governance processes
-   Shaping and approving the Registrar’s identity, purpose, and structure

**Time commitment**

-   Approximately four meetings per year over an 18-24-month period
-   An initial in-person induction/standardisation meeting (where possible)
-   Subsequent meetings held remotely, with papers circulated in advance
-   Attendance at two national stakeholder events per year

**Future opportunity**

Over time, this Advisory Board is expected to evolve into the governing board of the appointed organisation responsible for overseeing the scheme (the _Registrar_).

**Who we're looking for**

We welcome applications from individuals with diverse skills, experiences, and perspectives, who are passionate about improving standards, governance, and public trust within sport and physical activity.
