This year marks the 175th Anniversary of ScotWays. We have special events planned and we’ll be highlighting both the history of ScotWays and the achievements of outdoor access in Scotland on our social media pages.

Internally, ScotWays is switching to a new IT system, changing our processes and consolidating our massive data archive. To work with us on these exciting developments, we are recruiting a third access officer.

ScotWays is a team of 6 staff, supported by many dedicated volunteers both in the office and across Scotland. You’ll be based in our Central Edinburgh office and, along with our two current access officers, will help with both the organisational changes and deal with the many enquiries that we get from the public and solicitors.

We need someone who is adaptable and able to support and embrace this period of change and celebration for us.

You can find out more by reading the job description and person specification.

NOTE We are now able to offer this job as either part-time 2 or 3 days a week or full-time 5 days a week.
