Bike Club development worker based in Glasgow
salary around £24,000
Bike Club development worker based in Edinburgh
with a national remit - salary around £28,000
Bike Club is an innovative new project to create new cycling clubs and activities for children and young people, funded in Scotland by the Asda Foundation.
In Scotland, Bike Club is delivered by a partnership of CTC (the national cyclists’ organisation), Youth Scotland and ContinYou.
We are looking for Bike Club development workers to be responsible for delivering the project, working closely with existing networks of staff and volunteers in formal and nonformal learning settings.
You will need to demonstrate a good knowledge of community-based
cycling or physical activity projects and programmes; work experience across a range of community and youth work settings; and a track record of developing training and learning programmes.
The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Monday 1 March 2010. Interviews will be held in Edinburgh on 15 and 16 March 2010.

I am a scottish born person living in Cape Town South Africa who is considering returning to scotland. I have been directly involved in cycling (retail & personal training) for almost twelve years. i have taken part in many cycle rides, set up stalls at cycling expo’s, helped with cycling development for the disadvantaged and helped relieve during cycle events (water tables & cycle mechanic). I would very much like to be a part of your organisation as attempts here to get something started like what the UK has has fallen many times on deaf ears.
Hi Christopher.
Thanks for your interest. We did successfully recruit our officers for Scotland.
We are currently advertising for a post in Darlington and York, if you may be interested in working in the north of England?

Hi Christopher
Did you work with BEN (Andrew W) and BENN (Michael L)?
There are a lot of initiatives linked to the Bike Clubs in Scotland which Victoria and Amy know about, and have current contact details for – Glasgow has Commonwheel, De’ils on Wheels, Bike shed, Freewheel Edinburgh has Bike Station, and there is a big recycling initiative in Central Scotland that started off with a small unit in Fallin.
PS if anyone is going out to South Africa or Namibia do consider taking some small but important bike spares for their bike transport projects, and support these by ‘hiring’ a local bike from the projects.
