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.
