Are you passionate about supporting students in a dynamic Higher Education (HE) environment? Universal Centre of Sport is a specialist provider of HE in Sports Coaching programmes within real life, industry settings. We are dedicated to delivering high-quality education and are seeking experienced individuals to support our senior team in further developing our provision. If you have the expertise and enthusiasm to contribute to Universal Centre of Sport growth, why not consider becoming a Governor.
Why Become a Governor?
You may think, “I don’t have time to be a Governor” or “I can’t attend meetings.” However, as a modern, nationwide organisation, Universal Centre of Sport offers flexible participation. Meetings are held during the day and online, making it easier than ever to be involved. As a Governor, you will sit on the full HE Governing Body, and some members may also serve on specialist committees. We encourage active engagement, including opportunities to visit our professional learning environments, such as Football and Rugby Clubs.
What We Offer
- A rewarding opportunity to shape the future of Universal Centre of Sport and its students
- Flexible, remote-friendly meeting options
- A structured induction led by the Chair of Governors
- Reimbursement of appropriate expenses (Governors serve in a voluntary capacity)
