National Participation Committee - Victorian Teacher Position Vacancy
Published Sat 11 Feb 2017
Expressions of Interest Sought
Under the directive of the Australian Sports Commission, SSA has a responsibility to encourage more Australians, particularly young Australians to participate in sport more often, whether at school or with local communities and clubs.
Interschools Snowsports remains the single biggest entry point for grass roots participation in competitive snowsports. In recent times SSA has created additional grass roots engagement via Snowracer and the recently launched “Little Shredders” under the Sporting Schools Programme.
To this end, and as one of its ongoing strategic priorities, the SSA Board has recently established a National Participation Committee (”NPC”) to provide appropriate expertise and input on the development and operation of this important objective. At the September 2016 NPC meeting, the committee determined that an additional NPC member be appointed – to be a Victorian Teacher Representative.
Accordingly, SSA now seeks Expressions of Interest (EOI) from suitable individuals willing to be appointed to the NPC, in this position. Successful applicants are likely to have an involvement in and understanding of grass roots sport development but also an appreciation of the sport’s full development pathway.
A structural overview of the SSA NPC is set out in the SSA NPC Terms of Delegation document which includes:
• Role of the SSA NPC;
• Committee membership indicative criteria;
• Committee membership composition and selection procedures;
• Meeting procedures; and
• Reporting requirements to SSA Board.
Interested individuals should forward their EOI taking into account the position paper, detailing their experience and suitability.
An indicative timetable for the appointment selection process for this vacancy is as follows.
• 6th March 2017 Closing date for EOI
• 20th March 2017 Short List and Determination by SSA Board Selection Panel.
• 3rd April 2017 Announcement of additional NPC Victorian Teacher Member.
