Board vacancies
We seek an experienced Equality and Diversity leader to review our policies, practice and experiences and ensure that gender equality and wider inclusion is indeed at the heart of everything we do.
In addition, we are seeking a fundraising/ commercial strategy lead to build on our successful corporate partnerships and bring further funding into our sport.
The England Korfball Board would like to thank Dave Roberts and Denise Richards who stepped down from the England Korfball Board in July.
Dave was instrumental in undertaking a commercial strategy review and as such shaped the development of the 200 club and our fund-raising priorities. Denise brought experience of safe-guarding within the sports sector.

The Board
England Korfball is a membership organisation and as such is membership owned. The Board represents the interests of the members and we use skills based criteria to identify the make up of experience/expertise of Board members.
The EK Board comprises up to ten people with a range of elected and appointed officers who will be able to provide the skills and expertise to meet the needs of the sport. EK are seeking to fill up to two positions.
The board members fill a variety of roles. Independent directors, will possess specific skills that the organisation needs now as well as offering an objective, independent view. It is essential that the independent members bring a strategic, objective and balanced view to the role whilst recognising the interests of the members.
Most Board members will also Chair a sub-committee and/or lead a programme of work. We are specifically looking for new members to oversee a new Equality and Diversity programme and to take a strategic lead on our fundraising and commercial revenue strategy.
The Board meets roughly six times each year, usually by conference call in the evening but with occasional face-to-face meetings at weekends. The Board oversees a set of technical committees and working groups that are formed to pursue and deliver EK’s strategic operating plan.
The Role
Board members can serve up to two consecutive three-year terms. It is anticipated that the time commitment is one to two days per month after the induction period.
This includes attendance at up to six Board meetings and participation in at least one of the Board committees/or work programmes. Face-to-face meetings are usually held in London, but other meetings are usually by conference call.
Expenses will be paid in accordance with EK’s expense policy.
