From the playground to the podium and everything in between, Scottish Cycling is the Scottish Governing Body (SGB) of cycle sport. Working across the seven different disciplines of cycling, we are committed to developing a nation of cyclists, maximising participation for all and delivering international success.

Our home base is the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, which is a world class facility and regularly hosts many international competitions including the highly successful first ever combined UCI Cycling World Championships in the summer of 2023.

Our mission is to inspire and support everyone to enjoy riding a bike and have the opportunity to realise their full potential. As the largest cycling membership organisation in Scotland, we are the voice of our sport, representing the aspirations of our community. Our strategic plan – Developing a Nation of Cyclists 2.0 – details our mission, vision and golden threads and outlines how we will continue the successful development of cycle sport in Scotland.

In 2023, we were proudly awarded the SGB of the Year at the Scottish Sports Awards.

In 2027, Scotland will host the prestigious Tour de France Grand Départ, a momentous event with the potential to create lasting social change. We are seeking a talented, experienced, and passionate Social Impact Project Officer to support the development and delivery of a transformative social impact strategy that leverages cycling to improve lives across Scotland. This role will work closely with internal teams and key event partners to maximise a coordinated and impactful approach.

There are three overarching social impact outcomes that all UK wide event partners are collectively looking to contribute to before, during and after the Grand Départ. These are health improvement, economic growth and thriving communities. This post will work with both Scottish Cycling and British Cycling’s social impact teams to help deliver six UK-wide programmes, alongside a programme of social impact projects in Scotland.

Some potential examples of these projects are a girls’ cycling participation programme, school engagement, employability, and arts & cultural initiatives.
