About us
It’s an exciting time to join us. As Walking Scotland approaches its 30th anniversary, we’re stepping confidently into a bold new chapter.
We’re a charity that helps make walking and wheeling a part of everyday life. We promote the benefits of walking and wheeling on our physical, social and mental health. Our programmes connect communities and inspire positive behaviour change. We also improve places and spaces to walk and wheel.
We’re an advocate for making walking and wheeling inclusive. We work with partners and local communities to reduce barriers. This ensures everyone has the chance to walk and wheel everywhere they go. By focusing on walking and wheeling, we’re helping to solve some of Scotland’s biggest challenges, from health inequalities to the climate-nature emergency.
About the role
As our Executive Support and Office Manager, you’ll play a critical role in supporting the charity to deliver its strategic ambitions. You will do this by continuously improving systems and processes that underpin a sustainable and resilient charity.
You will provide high level executive support to the CEO, Senior Leadership Team and Board. Working closely with the Head of Finance and Corporate Services, you will help ensure the charity has high quality, effective administrative processes and that resources are allocated effectively in line with strategic objectives.
This is a newly created central role within the organisation.
We offer the opportunity to be part of an organisation that recognises staff as our most valued asset. Attractive employment conditions include a contributory pension scheme and flexi-time policy.
