Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club is seeking an additional exceptional individual to join the club’s General Committee from March 2027.
Following Graeme Swann’s decision to step down earlier this week, a third elected position on the General Committee has become vacant.
We’re keen to hear from people who are passionate about the club and who can bring different experiences, ideas and perspectives to its future.
You don’t need to be a cricket expert, or to have previous board experience, to apply.
The Role
The General Committee helps shape the Club's long-term direction, provides stewardship of its assets on behalf of the membership, and monitors performance against agreed budgets and plans.
These voluntary, non-executive positions require attendance at monthly General Committee meetings and relevant sub-committees.
Committee members play an important role in helping to ensure the Club remains a thriving, sustainable, and successful members' organisation for future generations.
The role involves listening to and contributing to discussions, providing constructive challenge, supporting good decision-making, and helping the Club respond effectively to opportunities and challenges.
We are looking for people who can bring sound judgement, valuable experience, fresh perspectives, and a commitment to the Club's long-term success.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking individuals who can bring skills, knowledge and experience in areas such as governance and compliance, strategic oversight, leadership, finance, risk management, stakeholder engagement, communication, and collaborative working.
We are not expecting candidates to have experience in every area. Valuable contributions come from a wide range of professional, voluntary and lived experiences.
As a members' club, it is important that our governance benefits from a range of perspectives that reflect both our membership and the wider community.
The Process
This additional vacancy on the Committee will be filled via the elected route.
If you wish to stand for election, you must have been a member of the Club, and entitled to vote for a continuous period of not less than two years, on 31 October 2026.

All candidates must complete an online application form, which can be completed here.
This year, our online application process is being administered on our behalf by PIN Communications, a leading election services and communications provider. Shortly after completing your online application, you will receive a copy of your submission via email.

The detailed role profile outlining competencies and expectations is available here.
Selection Process
All candidates will be interviewed by the Nominations Panel in December 2026 or January 2027.
Under the club’s rules, the successful applicant for this third elected vacancy will serve a term of one year.
In Summary
Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club is a members' club, and strong governance relies on bringing together people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.
Whether your background is in business, education, finance, technology, law, community leadership, the public sector, sport, or another field entirely, your experience could help the club continue to thrive.
If you're passionate about the future of the club and think your skills, experience or perspective could add value to the General Committee, we’d welcome your application.
