About the job:
We lead the Government's work on the future governance of football. A Bill will be introduced to establish an Independent Football Regulator to ensure greater sustainability in the game and strengthen protections for fans.
The Shadow Football Regulator is a dedicated team within DCMS which is responsible for setting up the Independent Football Regulator. It is ensuring the Regulator has the right skills, governance and corporate functions so it can start work as soon as possible after the Bill receives Royal Assent.
These roles are being recruited on a loan or fixed term basis for 12 months with the possibility to extend. This role will be based in DCMS on an interim basis. Subject to the overall progress of the programme, the intention for this role is to transfer to the Football Regulator once fully established.
Please note that this role will be based in Greater Manchester, which is where the Regulator will be based - an exact location has yet to be determined.
