• Collaborate with the Executive to set vision, values, and strategic policies.
• Monitor organisational performance and ensure financial sustainability.
• Safeguard the culture, reputation, and values of StreetGames.

You’ll thrive in this role if you are:

• Experienced in leadership roles within values-driven, charitable organisations, ideally with governance experience.
• Passionate about the role of sport in transforming young lives, particularly in disadvantaged communities.
• Committed to creating equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging, with a demonstrated ability to lead in these areas.
