Job Purpose
In 2027, Scotland will host the prestigious Tour de France Grand Départ. This landmark event presents a unique opportunity to create lasting social impact by encouraging more people to experience the physical and mental benefits of cycling.
This role will coordinate and deliver the day-to-day activities of two key programmes in Edinburgh: the Rock Up & Ride programme and a new girls’ participation programme. The role will also focus on building a strong cycling community around the Crags Centre (We Play Together SCIO) and surrounding areas. Scottish Cycling’s Rock Up & Ride programme aims to increase cycling participation, particularly among under-represented groups. It builds confidence and skills to help people cycle more often and make long-term changes to their travel habits.
Alongside this, increasing the number of women and girls involved in cycle sport is a key priority. In partnership with British Cycling, a new girls’ participation programme will launch later this year, and this role will support its delivery in targeted areas of Edinburgh.
Other Information
The post is full time although there will be an expectation to work flexibly to meet the needs of the organisation. The nature of the role is that programme delivery, meetings and events happen at weekends and evenings and the postholder will be required to work out with normal Monday to Friday working hours.
The post will be based at The Crags Centre (We Play Together SCIO) in Edinburgh which will be a key location for the growth of the two programmes and a wider cycling community, however, a flexible approach will be required to manage the demands of the role.
The postholder will work closely with Scottish Cycling staff and staff within the Crags Centre to maintain a collaborative partnership. Occasional in-person meetings will take place at Scottish Cycling’s offices in the Glasgow Indoor Arena in Glasgow. Some additional travel outside of Edinburgh may be required to support the Rock Up & Ride team and wider Scottish Cycling business. Reasonable travel, accommodation and administrative expenses will be reimbursed in line with Scottish Cycling’s policy.

Scottish Cycling is committed to selecting staff solely based on their ability to do the job for which they are being recruited and welcomes application from all sections of the community.
