Independent Chair

Due to the current Chair's term of office ending, a fabulous opportunity has arisen to join the Board and wider team at Birmingham County Football Association (BCFA) as the new Independent Chair.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced leader to help shape the future of football across the West Midlands Combined Authority and Warwickshire, guiding the strategic direction of the Association and ensuring the game remains inclusive, sustainable, accessible, safe and enjoyable for all.

Football plays a vital role in bringing communities together and creating opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds. As Independent Chair, you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference, helping BCFA build on its achievements, respond to emerging challenges and realise its ambitions for the future of grassroots football and how the game positively benefits local communities and other social agendas.

Working in partnership with the Board, Chief Executive and Senior Leadership Team, the Independent Chair will provide strategic leadership, independent judgement and constructive challenge, ensuring that the Association operates with integrity, transparency and strong accountability. You will lead the Board in setting and monitoring the organisation's strategic and financial priorities, ensuring alignment with The FA's national strategy, regulatory requirements and the needs of the communities, clubs, leagues and volunteers we serve.

The new Chair will play a pivotal role in promoting effective governance, overseeing organisational performance, financial sustainability and risk management, while supporting and constructively challenging the Chief Executive and Senior Leadership Team to deliver the Association's business objectives. You will help ensure that decisions are made in the best interests of football across the region, maintaining high standards of conduct, safeguarding and accountability.
