Applications invited for new Board Directors

The British Grooms Association (BGA) is searching for skilled and interested professionals to join the Board of Directors.

As a social enterprise and membership association the BGA aims to make a difference to the world of grooms, and in addition offer support and education to equestrian employers. For a small organisation, the BGA has a big agenda and even bigger aspirations.

With a refreshed vision and mission, underpinning this with a set of loyal sponsors, a growing membership and a new website, the BGA now has the opportunity to become a thriving business.

Applications are invited for non-executive Director positions to join the current Board from Spring 2016. Applicants are required to be proficient in one of these skill areas: 

• Financial planning
• Marketing – in particular digital media
• Strategic planning and implementation

Directors must all have:

• Knowledge of the Equine Industry and the working role of a groom.
• A good understanding and preferably experience of the not-for-profit sector.
• Diplomacy, ability to work in a small team and excellent communication skills.

The roles are voluntary positions but where relevant, reasonable travel expenses will be paid in line with the BGA expenses policy.
 
Your application letter and CV detailing your interest in the role and how your experience and skills meet the specifications set out above should be sent to info@britishgrooms.org.uk 

The closing date for applications is 29th February 2016   

Interviews will be on 24th March 2016 in London
