PADDLE CYMRU VACANCIES - Non Executive Independent Directors

We’re opening applications for Board vacancies at Paddle Cymru: an Independent Chair and Non‑Executive Independent Directors. These are appointed, independent roles designed to strengthen our governance and bring external expertise to the Board, and they are separate from the forthcoming member‑elected director positions.

INDEPENDENT CHAIRPERSON

Do you have an interest in sport, an ability to help lead a passionate group of people, exceptional management skills, and the desire to put these to good use by volunteering to help run the national governing body for paddle sports in Wales?

Paddle Cymru is currently seeking an independent chairperson to join our volunteer board of directors and help drive the organisation towards becoming a leading national governing body for paddlesports in Wales. This post would be for an initial term of 4 years and is open to anyone who is currently not involved in administration or management of canoeing or paddle sports in Wales.
