Following the exciting recent changes in the women’s domestic cricket structure and Derbyshire’s successful bid to become a Tier 2 Club, we are recruiting for a Non-Executive Director [elected] to join our Board.
We are looking for someone who can complement the existing elected Board of Directors with a background and experience in a senior role, but in addition someone with specialist knowledge of Elite Sport and Performance Pathways. We are interested to hear from candidates with experience within Women & Girls Cricket, but this is not essential.

We are keen to add to the diversity of our board through this appointment, and therefore, would welcome applications from all sections of the community.

This particular role will also Chair the newly established Women and Girls Cricket Committee, which will meet a minimum of four times per year.
This Non-Executive Director role is a voluntary, unpaid position and will be subject to a Member election alongside other Board positions at the Annual General Meeting in March 2025.
