We are looking for someone who has a passion for the work we do and who is familiar with the challenges of running a national organisation.

What will you be doing?

The Welfare Committee meet twice a year, usually via video-call but occasionally in person. All of our meetings are inclusive and welcoming, we value diversity of thought and encourage constructive challenge from our committee members and executive.

The meetings are currently routinely attended by trustees and committee members, the Chief Executive and the Director of Welfare Programmes. The meetings are held to monitor, review and develop the Welfare strategy, policy and compliance; to consider such individual welfare cases that might be brought to the Committee; to review and consider the impact of legislative changes; and consider any current issues or challenges facing this area of the charity, provide advice to the main board to help assist with high level decision making.

There will also be the requirement to undertake a committee member induction which we anticipate being a one-off one-day commitment. Each year, in addition to the committee meetings we anticipate another two days commitment would be required.

We invite committee members to join the Charity for an initial period of three years with the possibility of Trusteeship after one year.

We are particularly interested in hearing from those who have:

We are seeking to add to the expertise that we have on the Welfare committee, through an enthusiastic individual who is looking to develop their own skills and experience and has:

• First-hand experience of welfare services within the sport, with a desire to share that perspective.
• A strong interest in the personal and professional wellbeing of racing’s workforce.
• A commitment to shaping and contributing to a long-term welfare strategy for the industry.

Please note, as this post will involve governing and advising on services that have direct contact with young people and vulnerable adults alongside some work of a sensitive nature it will be subject to a satisfactory, enhanced DBS disclosure. We also make checks on staff working with vulnerable adults and young people against the DBS barred lists.

What difference will you make?

Demand for the Charity’s services is higher than ever. The Charity continues to review, improve, and expand a large portfolio of welfare and wellbeing services which make a significant difference to the lives of individuals working in horseracing, their employers, the horse racing industry and in turn, communities and society. You will be part of this team, providing crucial advice to help shape the welfare strategy ensuring the charity continues to deliver high quality and impactful services. If you’re passionate about racing and the people who power it and you want to make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

What is in it for you?

You will enjoy working alongside and learning from an inspiring and knowledgeable team of executives, committee members and trustees. You will have the opportunity to develop your board member skills and there may be opportunity to progress to a trustee position after 12 months.
