A covering letter and CV must be sent by 5pm British Summer Time on May 14 and a full job description can be found here.

The Commonwealth Sport Foundation is a charity that was launched by the CGF in 2020 with an aim to address issues in Commonwealth nations such as racism and climate change.

Youth empowerment, equal rights and historical injustices are three of the five areas targeted by the CSF, with the others being small and island states and sustainability.

It was developed after the civil rights protests globally which addressed a fight against racism.
