Its part of UK Sport - which is part of the Government department for Media and Culture (I think). Good job for someone who wants to steer how the UK`s gifted young skiers and boarders develop (as well as the sport in general).

Uk sport is an executive non-departmental public body, under the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport. Which is important if that's your thing

It's the national governing body for ski and snowboard sport in the UK. Roles will include development of promising juniors; coaching and development of international standard competitors; preparing and entering individual athletes and teams in World Championships & Olympics; etc
