Angling Trust Job Vacancy

The Angling Trust is seeking a new Chairman to lead the board of the organisation and oversee its continued development and expansion as the National Governing Body and unified representative organisation for coarse, game and sea angling in England.

Voluntary role. Travel expenses payable

• continuing the success and momentum built following the Trust's launch in 2009;

• development of the Board and executive leadership team and governance systems;

• providing strategic guidance for the development of business strategies to maximise the resources available to the Trust and its delivery capability.
