About Sporting Equals
Sport has the power to change lives yet for too many people from ethnically diverse communities, that power remains out of reach. Sporting Equals was founded to close that gap. We focus our efforts on advancing racial equity in sport and physical activity, as defined by our charitable objectives. Ultimately, we champion equity so that every person, regardless of background, can participate and thrive. As a trusted partner of Sport England, sportscotland, national governing bodies, local authorities, and community organisations, we work across the UK to drive meaningful and measurable changes through our Charter offer, programmes and insight-led support.
The role and you
As the CEO of the UK’s leading race equality charity in sport and physical activity, your mission will be simple: empower marginalised ethnic communities, challenge inequalities, and create long-term, systemic impact across the sport and physical activity sector.
You are an experienced, values-driven leader who combines strategic vision with hands-on delivery, confident working with a Board of Trustees, funders, and partners, and adept at making evidence-based decisions. You excel at building trust with communities experiencing racial inequity and exclusion, and you understand how to lead through change, strengthen systems and processes, and inspire and support a diverse team. Bringing insight, ambition, and a collaborative mindset, you are deeply committed to race equality, inclusion, and social justice in sport. You recognise the challenges and opportunities facing a growing charity and are motivated by the opportunity to shape a more equitable and inclusive sporting landscape.
