Job summary:


Shadow Football Regulator
We lead Government's work on the future governance of football.

In 2021 the government commissioned a Fan-Led Review of Football Governance to explore ways of improving the sustainability of English football in order to protect vital community assets.

The Review was published later that year and highlighted the need for reform.

The Government published a White Paper setting out a comprehensive plan to introduce an independent regulator for English football clubs to put fans back at the heart of football and help to deliver a sustainable future for all clubs.

The Football Governance Bill was introduced in March.


The Shadow Football Regulator was announced alongside the publication of the Bill and is responsible for preparatory work to support the set up of the football regulator.


These roles are being recruited on a loan or fixed term basis for 12 months with the possibility to extend.

This role will be based in DCMS on an interim basis.

Subject to the overall progress of the programme, the intention for this role is to transfer to the Football Regulator once fully established.


Please note that the location of the Football Regulator will be Greater Manchester, an exact location has yet to be determined.
