At Cycling UK, we imagine a country where everyone is able to cycle. Where the streets are free of congestion and the air is clean to breathe. 

As the UK’s cycling charity, we inspire more people to ride, making our streets safer for cyclists and opening up traffic free routes to reach our vision of millions more people cycling across the UK. 

The Scotland Cycle Repair Scheme is a fantastic initiative which works with organisations across Scotland to enable those most in need to access a cycle repair. The project supports more adults and children to either continue or return to cycling, especially those least able to afford cycle repairs, an outcome which will further our vision to get a million more people cycling!

This is an exciting opportunity for a highly organised individual with strong attention to detail, and robust IT skills to enable success for this high-profile programme across Scotland. We need an excellent team worker with strong communication skills to work collaboratively with our managers and head of development Scotland to deliver this project successfully.

We are seeking proactive candidates with good knowledge and experience of Microsoft excel and who have the ability to manage large data sets comfortably.

Tell us why you are the person to drive success in this role.

36% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school in England each year unable to read to the expected standard. Innovations for Learning (IFL) is a charity focused on using technology to close this literacy gap through a unique online reading support programme called TutorMate.
