About Us

Join our not-for-profit organisation in our mission to fight for fish, fishing, and the environment. We're looking to appoint a new director to our board to help us deliver our Fishing for Good strategy and encourage everyone to experience fishing. Fishing is one of the country's largest participation sports and the benefits of angling have never been more widely recognised. The Angling Trust is the national governing body for the sport of angling in England as well as a top ten environmental NGO, representing anglers and creating opportunities for all to experience fishing in a healthy aquatic world.

About The Role

We are looking for a director to take over the role of the chair of the Audit and Risk Assurance Committee (ARAC). ARAC is an advisory committee with independent oversight of the Angling Trust and our two closely associated organisations, Fish Legal and A.C.A. Trust Co. Ltd, on behalf of their respective governing boards and committees. It undertakes formal and transparent arrangements to support the boards and committees in considering issues of corporate reporting, risk management, internal control principles and in maintaining appropriate relationships with the company's auditors, alongside oversight of commercial activities. ARAC reports its findings, recommendations and assurances to the Angling Trust and A.C.A. Co. Ltd Boards and Fish Legal Committee.
