The award-winning Black Swimming Association is recruiting a CEO to lead its close knit, passionate team into its fifth year of establishment.

In 2019, four cofounders came together in an attempt to make a difference. Nearly five years on, our small and dedicated team are committed to changing the narrative. What's our why? Through research and insights and programme delivery, we work to raise awareness of water safety and drowning prevention, in particular amongst African, Caribbean and Asian communities across the UK. By amplifying the voices and experiences of ethnically diverse and other marginalised communities, we aim to challenge the status quo and dismantle the barriers that prevent individuals from fully participating in and benefiting from aquatics.

Why do we want to hear from you? The BSA Group has been growing from strength to strength and is looking for an experienced leader to take us into this new chapter. The BSA group consists of the award-winning Black Swimming Association (charity) and Inclusive Aquatics (C.I.C) and the CEO role will contribute to the work of both the charity and the C.I.C.

We’re here to prevent children from becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to change things. We need to inspire and connect with youth justice services across England and Wales to spread what works and make our country safer for some of our most vulnerable children. We are looking for someone to lead on making this happen.

We are making good progress building the evidence of what works within and around youth justice to reduce violence, with new Practice Guidance and implementation resources due next year on diversion, mentoring and sports programmes.

Key responsibilities include: 

Working out the best way to make this change happen by getting more senior leaders within youth justice to use our Guidance, toolkit, research and implementation tools to inform day to day operations and strategic decision making. 

Creating practical tools and resources that help leaders put evidence into action.
