Job Description

Racing Welfare is a national charity supporting all those working and retired from the British horseracing and breeding industry.  We are seeking an advisory committee member who shares our vision that everyone from the horseracing and breeding industry and community feels supported and has the opportunity to thrive. We are looking for someone who has a passion for the work that we do and who is familiar with the challenges of running a national organisation.  

Following an exciting period of growth and development and an ambitious future strategy we would like to hear from anyone with senior level experience of supporting people and developing or providing wellbeing services.  The advisory committee member will help balance the skills of the Board of Directors in order to help effectively guide the organisation and ensure that our services meet best practice standards as well as meeting the needs of our beneficiaries.  

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.

We anticipate the time commitment to be no more than 4 days per year.
