scottishathletics are seeking applications for a new post as our National Community Impact Manager.

This is a key role as we look to maintain momentum and grow our sport across the length and breadth of Scotland.

Our successful applicant will report to David Fallon, the scottishathletics Head of Development, and head up a National Community Impact Team.

The National Community Impact Manager will recruit National Community Impact Officers and Local Community Impact Leaders.

These moves come following our announcement of increased investment from sportscotland for scottishathletics and jogscotland.

Applications for the National Community Impact Manager post should be with us by noon on Friday 7 July.

Building a Culture of Success: More investment for our sport

Through our annual collection of diversity data across the sport, we know that the membership of scottishathletics exhibits significant under-representation from certain communities when compared with the representation of these communities in the Scottish population.

Our three main areas of under-representation are:

People who live in poverty and have a low income
People from ethnically and culturally diverse communities
People living with a disability

The role of National Community Impact Manager will be to identify potential participants from these communities, understand and remove any real or perceived barriers to participation, and offer a range of participation opportunities to increase their mental and physical health and wellbeing.

The National Community Impact Manager will recruit National Community Impact Officers and Local Community Impact Leaders.

Thus our Community Impact Team will strive to widen access to physical activity to our under-represented communities, increasing their physical and mental health and wellbeing, and ultimately empowering everyone to achieve their own personal success in the athletics and recreational running in Scotland.
