The Executive is seeking a Director for Standards

[<<] [>>] by Beatrice McGlen (CEO)
29th November (CqE Official News)

The Board of Trustees recently published Croquet England's 5-year strategy More Croquet. High standards and a safe and inclusive environment provide the framework for the 7 themes of that strategy.

The role of the Executive Director for Standards will include:

• Cascading the aims and objectives of Croquet England's strategy to clubs via the newly introduced Club Mark scheme.
• Working with the handicap and laws/rules committees to maintain the essential standards of the game, particularly regarding training and refreshing skills for referees, handicappers and tournament managers.
• Liaising with the Equipment Advisory group.

It is expected that the successful applicant will have some experience of leadership and management, and a particular interest in ensuring the foundations of high standards are spread throughout the culture of our organisation.

A familiarity of both codes of croquet is particularly desirable. However, prowess on the croquet court is not a requirement. Being able to work as part of a team and good communication skills are essential.

The Executive meets monthly but there is frequent communication between members of the Executive outside meetings. In addition, Directors should expect to spend sufficient time working with their committees or performing their other duties to be able to provide a monthly report to keep the other members of the Executive team well informed.

All members of the senior management team are expected to declare conflicts of interest and to undergo safeguarding training. Executive positions are voluntary.

As a member of the Executive team, you will be at the heart of Croquet England, helping to bring the aspiration of its new strategy to reality. If you would like to find out more, then please have an informal chat with the CEO, Beatrice McGlen (beatrice.mcglen#croquetengland.org.uk)
