Chair – ParalympicsGB
As our current Chair reaches the end of his second four year term, we’re seeking an experienced strategic leader with the skills, commitment, and credibility to lead ParalympicsGB through the Milan-Cortina 2026 and LA 2028 Paralympic Games Cycle. In addition to chairing the ParalympicsGB Board and supporting the CEO and Executive Team, the successful candidate will act as President of the National Paralympic Committee – the primary representative of ParalympicsGB to its membership and to the International Paralympic Committee.
We’re pursuing world-leading performance at the Paralympic Games and leveraging that performance to drive social impact and inspire a better world for disabled people. Our new Chair will be committed to creating the best performance environment possible whilst also being committed to improving the lives of disabled people and promoting inclusion, diversity, equality, and accessibility for all.
We’re particularly interested to hear from candidates with experience in fundraising and commercial partnerships, international relations and public affairs, and/or sport and physical activity.
If our strategic ambition excites you, if you have relevant experience and expertise, and if you can commit your time to providing leadership, support and constructive challenge, we’d welcome your application to the role.
