We are delighted to be looking for up to three new Trustees to join The Jockeys Education and Training Scheme (JETS).
JETS, registered charity number 1149018, celebrated its 30th anniversary last year and has ambitious plans to ensure that we continue to serve the jockey community.
Each year, we support jockeys to gain vital skills and experience to forge a new career when they retire from race riding. We have helped jockeys re-train as box drivers, farriers, vets, pizza chefs, paramedics and neuroscientists. Each year, we encourage those supported by JETS to enter the Richard Davis Awards which is an opportunity to showcase their achievement to the industry.
Whether you are an experienced board member or seeking your first Trustee role, we welcome candidates from a diverse range of backgrounds and lived experiences. We will provide a comprehensive induction programme and tailored support based on individual candidate’s experience.
What matters to us is that candidates have a keen interest in the work of JETS, the ability to commit the time needed to fulfil the role, and a wish to use your skills and experience to help make a difference for jockeys. We are looking for people who can help us to deepen and widen our perspective and base of skills, knowledge and experience.
If you would like to discuss the role, our Chair is happy to set up a zoom call and she can be contacted at sbailey@hyde-bailey.com
