Overview English professional football has over recent years made considerable investment into elite talent pathways. Clubs and other entities running elite talent programmes for young players must comply with advanced and evolving regulatory frameworks. These frameworks have been developed to deliver on English football's shared mission of developing more and better homegrown players, and compliance with them is a condition of receiving central funding to support elite youth development. On the boys' side and as part of the Elite Player Performance Plan - the Professional Game's national strategy for developing male youth footballers in England - professional club Academies are licensed and placed into one of four categories (Category 1 to 4). These categories are based on a combination of factors, including investment levels, facilities, staffing, and the quality of provision across key multidisciplinary areas. We are currently reviewing the audit and assessment framework used on the boys' side. On the girls' side, the female talent pathway aims to support the development of more and better home-grown players through two key programmes , with around 60 licensed Emerging Talent Centres for girls aged eight to 16 and 20 licensed Professional Game Academies delivering training and development to girls aged 14 to 21. It is likely that, as the girls' game continues to grow, the licensing requirements for both Emerging Talent Centres and Professional Game Academies - together with the way in which PGAAC assesses them - will continue to evolve. To ensure licensing conditons are complied with and to support the continual raising of standards in both sides of elite player development, an independent standards organisation has been developed, mandated by the professional game, to monitor safety, compliance and the quality of work being delivered across both the male and female environments. The Professional Game Academy Audit Company (PGAAC), is the independent standards organisation established by The FA, the Premier League and the EFL, oversees a multidisciplinary assessment of all licensed training programmes. For example in boys' Academies, the assessment covers Leadership & Management, Coaching, Performance Support, Duty of Care, Education, Safeguarding, and Productivity. Directors of the board are required to provide overall leadership and strategic vision for PGAAC, acting as a critical eye on the outputs of the multi-disciplinary assessments on the boys' side and making licensing and other recommendations based on these asessments, and supporting the management team. A committee of the board, the Women's Talent Pathway Assessment Board (WTPAB), has been established. Its membership consists of the PGAAC chair and representatives of The FA, WSL Football, the Premier League, and one independent member. The WTPAB monitors the delivery of PGAAC's audit and assurance programme in the girls' game and makes licensing and other recommendations based on the outputs of assessments. It thus maintains some operational independence from the main PGAAC Board which notwithstanding monitors its work. It is not anticipated that the successful candidate will also sit on the WTPAB although we are open to discussion on this point. Background of the Board The Board of PGAAC is comprised of an independent chair, and includes representatives from its three shareholders: the EFL, The FA and the Premier League. Key responsibilities of the INED Reporting to the Chair, the INED will be required to work with the other Directors of the Board to: Support PGAAC to deliver on its mission through a period of continued change. Contributes and, where appropriate, leads the discussion around strategy and forward thinking actions with the ultimate aim of have a clear plan and framework in place which enables focus for all involved and gives opportunity to measure success Ensure that PGAAC is run in a transparent and equitable manner and operates in line with accepted best practice in corporate governance. Reviewing the output of the audits of boys' Academies undertaken by PGAAC staff. Evaluate and assess that output in order to determine whether an Academy should be awarded or maintain its licence to operate as such, and make recommendations accordingly. Where appropriate, consider, advise on and make recommendations regarding systemic areas of quality, risk and developmental need in the male and female elite talent pathway. Offer check and challenge to the Chair, General Manager and PGAAC staff. Experience and capabilities This is a role which combines strong business and governance acumen with some understanding and passion for youth development in English football. You do not need to be a football youth development expert as this expertise is already represented in depth on the Board. But you will be motivated by the vision of PGAAC and by the English football stakeholders' shared desire to produce more and better home-grown players, and the development and wellbeing of children within the game. The following are the experience and capabilities we are seeking: Experience working with organisations during periods of developmental growth and change is highly valuable. This includes expertise in building a strong organisational culture and fostering team cohesion, particularly where staff members work remotely Experience of operating within a Board or committee or C-suite in a commercial organisation (not necessarily in sport) or national governing body of another sport. Capacity to contribute actively to the strategic direction of PGAAC demonstrated by evidence of an ability to think strategically and to analyse complex concepts Confident and effective communication and influencing skills with a willingness to speak their mind but to do so in a constructive and respectful way A proven track record of effective, independent, decision making Proven ability to work effectively as part of a team that makes collective strategic decisions and to accept collective corporate responsibility for decision making Understands what 'good' looks like within organisational design Has proven business acumen that they want to share to help the development of PGAAC Ability to review, understand and analyse complex technical reports, and to draw out their key points in order to make robust, informed decisions Ability to adopt an open and constructive approach to PGAAC proceedings, making a full contribution and offering check and challenge in a collegiate manner Desirable: Experience of sports governance, working with or as part of a board Experience of managing complex projects to ensure delivery in line with expectations Experience of audit and quality assurance processes Eligibility and Time Commitment Due to the nature of the position, candidates must be independent of any football club which runs an Academy, and of The FA, the EFL the Premier League, the County FAs, Football Club Charities and organisations linked to the talent pathways. By 'independent' we mean that you are free from any close connection with any such organisation, and, from the perspective of an objective outsider, you would be viewed as independent. Time Commitment This is a non-executive role with attendance expected for up to eight meetings, which are equally distributed throughout the year and include one strategy away day in the close season. Attendance will be required at all Board meetings. There may on occasion be the need for short notice attendance at additional meetings and diary flexibility will be required. The role involves both virtual meetings via Teams and in-person meetings. In-person meetings are preferred where practical and may take place in London or other locations. The position is renumerated and all reasonable expenses will also be covered. Full details will be shared on application. This is a remunerated role. Remuneration is £500 per day. PGAAC is an equal opportunities employer and strives to create an inclusive culture where talent can flourish. We believe in the potential of everyone and open our doors to those who share those values. All appointments will be made based on merit; however, we particularly encourage applications from women, people from minority ethnic communities, LGBTQ+ people and disabled people. Our commitment to safeguarding includes implementing robust safer recruitment procedures to assess the suitability of individuals applying for roles that involve work with children and adults who are or may be at risk of harm. For further information, please see our Safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Guidance. We will remove barriers that prospective candidates might face at any stage of our recruitment process. If you have a disability and would like the advert in an alternative format, or would like to talk about how we can adjust the interview process to best support you, please contact .

The Gate brings people together from across the world to engage with theatre, performance, art and ideas. Founded in 1979 to stage ground-breaking international plays, the Gate has become a platform for radical artists, writers and directors from across the globe: known for its transformative ability to push the boundaries of what theatre is and could be. It is a place where creatives have been gathering to imagine storytelling differently, and where experimental thinking is front and centre. At a time when the world and our own nation grow increasingly insular, we believe it is important to foster communication and understanding across borders, across languages, across cultures. The Gate works with artists in the UK to tell stories from beyond our borders, celebrating the multiplicity of identity within our artists and our audiences through the power of theatre. As a home for new voices and new ideas, we also have a reputation as a training theatre. Gate shows enable artists to take risks and to develop and advance their own talent, and their own professional journey, by making high quality work that moves the artform and the sector forward. The monumental events of the pandemic have drastically changed the theatre landscape and ecology, with its effects being keenly felt through unpredictable audience behaviour, and rising costs. As the nation navigates the cost-of-living crisis, the arts continue to face devastating funding cuts and challenges, including the withdrawal of much local council arts provision and the increasing competition for resources across trusts and foundations At the Gate, we have used this moment of transition to interrogate both our founding mission and what the needs of the sector are today.
