Crynodeb
We lead the Government's work on the future governance of football. At present, the Shadow Football Regulator comprises over 30 members of staff, led by an interim Chief Operating Officer, undertaking a range of activities in preparation for passage of the Football Governance Bill, which is currently in Parliament.
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.
This post, and its recruitment, is dependent on progress of the Bill, and the intention is for this role to transfer to the Regulator once it's legally established.
Please note that the Independent Football Regulator will be based in Greater Manchester but an exact location has yet to be determined.
We are recruiting a lawyer to join the Shadow Football Regulator (SFR) to help advise and shape the organisation in parallel with Parliamentary passage of the associated legal framework.
The successful candidate will play a crucial role in developing the legal function within the new organisation, and supporting the organisation in developing and overseeing a legally robust regime.
The successful candidate will work with the legal team and wider organisation to identify, monitor and manage legal risks attaching to the IFR’s activities.
This work will include advising, amongst other issues, on the IFR’s powers and obligations, the legal risks attaching to different regulatory strategies and approaches, regulatory investigations and enforcement, litigation and appeals, the IFR’s decision-making obligations, corporate governance and wider public law issues.
The candidate will be required to provide practical legal advice to IFR teams within a nascent legal framework, and to ground this advice in the relevant statutory, public law and industry context.
The legal team will also be expected to work collaboratively with the sponsor department, DCMS, as well as with a variety of other bodies, including within the football industry.
