A Collaborative Leader: You excel at working hand-in-hand with volunteers, partners, committees, and complex networks to tangibly improve support, capability, and engagement.
A Systems Thinker: You are highly experienced in developing comprehensive frameworks, resources, programmes, or pathways that actively help people progress and perform effectively in their roles.
A Qualified Professional: You hold a relevant degree or professional qualification in sport, learning, workforce development, volunteering, management, or a related field (or possess equivalent relevant senior experience).
Growth-Mindset: You lead by example, demonstrating clear evidence of your own continued professional development relevant to this leadership role.
