Job Description & Person Specification
scottishathletics are the national governing body for athletics in Scotland.
Our vision is for everyone in Scotland to have the opportunity to participate in athletics and running and to achieve their personal ambitions.
Our mission is to deliver an integrated, inclusive and adaptable model of athletics and running provision that inspires everyone in Scotland to enjoy the sport and experience personal success.
Athletics Trust Scotland was launched in 2021. The Trust aims to use the power of athletics and running to transform lives in Scotland and supports people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities across the country to improve their physical health, mental health, social health and wellbeing.
The Trust works closely with national partners scottishathletics and Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH), and through the delivery of our Transforming Lives grants, we are supporting athletics clubs, jogscotland groups and other community organisations across Scotland.
The Board of Trustees are led by Chair, Graeme Jack, and supported by our Patron, Eilidh Doyle, and inspiring network of Athletics Trust Scotland ambassadors.
Working closely with the Trustees and ambassadors, the Head of Fundraising & Development will lead on the delivery of the Trust’s objectives for 2025-2027 with a specific focus on increasing fundraising across three priority sources:
- Running and athletics community
- Grant funding
- Corporate sponsorships and partnerships
This is an exciting time to work with Athletics Trust Scotland as they enter the next phase of their development and work closely with national and local partners to increase our impact across Scotland.
Particular focus is being placed on increasing access and participation for ethnically and culturally diverse communities, people with disabilities and people living in poverty.
Applications will close on March 26.
