The Board of the Rugby League European Federation (RLEF) is seeking to appoint an Independent Director for a renewable two-year term to assist the Board in the delivery of its Strategic Plan 2010 – 2017 and beyond.

The RLEF strategy is based upon its corporate values of Empowerment, Dynamism and developing a Rugby League Culture. The strategy can be summed up in the phrase “getting more people playing more rugby league, more of the time”. Behind that phrase are significant operational plans which are being delivered by the federation.

The Board is seeking applications from candidates with a strong background in any or all of the following sectors:
- Event management
- International sporting relations
- European Union / European Commission

Successful candidates will be expected to attend Board Meetings, normally three-to-four per year, where they will provide help, guidance, advice and support to the executive team, as well as sitting on one sub-committee of the federation, which usually meets remotely.

The position is a voluntary post but reasonable expenses will be met to assist in undertaking the duties. The successful candidate will be appointed initially until the RLEF Annual Council Meeting in 2018.

Applications should be made in writing, including a letter of application and a current CV, to the RLEF Ltd company secretary at [email protected].

Closing date for applications is 5pm (UK time) on Friday 7 August 2015.
