Lancashire FA Youth Voice Football Advisory Board Application Form
Our Football Advisory Boards are the forums where Lancashire's footballing community can share their ideas and opinions to directly shape the future of football in the County. We are currently recruiting committed and passionate young people and adults to join our Youth Voice Football Advisory Board (FAB). This FAB will enable young people to have a firm say in the way their football is organised, and to share their opinions on the experiences they face so that they can help shape their current and future game. We're also looking for a Chair for this FAB. Ideally, a 'Youth' Chair, but we will also welcome applications for a temporary adult Chair, who will be willing to mentor a young person to be the Youth Chair within 6-9 months. What's Involved? These positions are all voluntary, and you'll need to have a keen interest in improving the experience that young people have in the Game. As part of this FAB, you will be encouraged and supported to develop essential skills, including team work and leadership, and we will be involving you in the direction of football's future as much as possible. Joining our FAB will require a commitment of a minimum of 4 meetings each year, and the Chair will also be invited to join the Lancashire FA Board meetings, which are held every other month. All meetings are evening based. Lancashire FA is an equal opportunity employer that is committed to diversity and inclusion. Lancashire FA welcomes applications from our under-represented communities to ensure our Football Advisory Boards are representative of Lancashire's diverse football community. Instructions: Please read the job advertisement, role description (for the Chair position) and terms of reference, and complete the application form by the deadline specified, answering all questions as fully as possible. The decision to progress your application will be based solely on the information that you provide in this form. Please note, you may only sit on one Football Advisory Board, at Lancashire FA, as this ensures there are no conflicts of interest and this FAB will have a maximum of 50% adults (over 21s) sitting on it as we will be looking to hear the youth perspective as much as possible. Next Steps: You will be invited to attend a brief informal interview with the Lancashire FA Lead (Neil Yates) for the Youth Voice FAB. Best of luck with your application - we very much look forward to hearing from you!
