Join our revamped Equality Action Group leading our work in Ethnicity and play a crucial role in student sport.

Are you passionate about equality? Driven to break down barriers? Join us in shaping a sporting community where everyone belongs.

The Scottish Student Sport Equality Action Group are recruiting for new members to create tangible, real world change across the sporting sector. Over the past 12 months, alongside developing our new action plan we’ve been reshaping our advisory and delivery structure to support us in achieving our aims in this space, fitting in with the Moving to Inclusion Framework.

Working across four priority areas (below) the Equality Action Group is led by our Chair and an elected member responsible for guiding our wider Belonging based work on the SSS Development Committee. The four priority areas reflect significant barriers to participation and engagement across the student sport network. Our work more broadly seeks to address barriers faced by all, the decision to focus on these four areas allows us to deliver actionable change we believe will have a lasting impact across the sector.

  1. LGBTQ+
  2. Women and Girls
  3. Disability
  4. Ethnicity

Each area above has an Equality Lead who has a more strategic responsibility for their respective area. Delivery Coordinators will work closely with their Equality Lead, exploring how to translate priorities into activity and outcomes.

View the Ethnicity Area Lead role descriptor here.

By joining the team, you’ll play a vital part in ensuring that equality isn’t just a policy but a practice that runs through everything we do.

Applications to this role will be open ended. To apply please email Jordan with a recent copy of your CV and no more than 150 words explaining why equality is important to you.
