The Mission: Supporting a Thriving Workforce

As part of the RYAs ambitious goal to drastically grow participation in sailing and boating, we are seeking to evolve how we develop the people who deliver our sport.

Empower the Network: Ensure that qualifications, development opportunities, resources, and support are coherent, accessible, and aligned to the needs of clubs, classes, events, and wider delivery partners.
Supercharge Learning Approaches: Radically strengthen how learning is shared across the organisation, improving progression routes and building a more confident, capable, and highly recognised volunteer workforce.
Champion Inclusivity: Provide clear evidence that our learning and volunteering opportunities are continuously becoming more inclusive, representative, and accessible to all demographics.
Drive Recognition & Retention: Foster strong volunteering recruitment and retention across targeted parts of the sport, ensuring positive engagement with recognition and awards so that every contribution is deeply celebrated and valued.
Deliver Measurable Impact: Improve the clarity, accessibility, and take-up of learning pathways and CPD across priority disciplines, resulting in stronger workforce confidence and highly positive partner feedback.

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.
