Our vision is for Scotland to be a walking nation. We want everyone to have the opportunity to be active every day, creating a happier, healthier and greener Scotland. A key element of this work involves supporting development of paths and environments that are accessible for everyone to enjoy active lives.

Our Active Environments Team provides advice, support, training and funding to a wide audience including community organisations, community groups, outdoor access, and active travel professionals on improving local paths throughout Scotland. Having access to good quality, well maintained community paths networks close to where people live is essential for encouraging everyone to be active. Welcoming, safe, inclusive, and accessible outdoor environments can improve our physical, mental and social health by allowing people to be physically active outdoors and helping people to connect with and get closer to nature.

This role offers the rare opportunity to lead our Active Environments Team and help empower communities in Scotland to take the lead in creating, promoting, and maintaining safe, welcoming community paths and active routes for everyone. Through experience of programme management and strategic development there will be a specific focus on community engagement, climate adaptation and nature connectedness. This role will further develop these areas of work and support the team to provide technical guidance training, advice and funding opportunities to external audiences.

Applicants should have a minimum of 3 years relevant work experience in a community/ environmental / access development role along with the ability to communicate well with a diverse range of audiences.

We offer the opportunity to be part of an organisation that recognises staff as our most valued asset. Attractive employment conditions include a contributory pension scheme and flexi-time policy. Paths for All has achieved the Healthy Working Lives Gold Award.

Paths for All's vision is for a happier, healthier Scotland where physical activity improves quality of life and wellbeing for all. Our aim is to significantly increase the number of people who choose to walk in Scotland and a key element of this work involves promoting active travel.

Smarter Choices, Smarter Places (SCSP) is Paths for All’s behaviour change programme aimed at getting people to walk, cycle and wheel more for short journeys and adopt sustainable travel options for longer journeys. Currently in its seventh year of funding from Transport Scotland, the Programme provides grants to public and third sector organisations, encourages the sharing of good practice and promotes collaborative work at local, regional and national level. SCSP is used by all Scotland’s local authorities and funds many other third and public sector organisations to deliver locally specific initiatives that meet local needs.

The role of the SCSP Manager is pivotal in ensuring that the Programme continues to deliver on its core mission whilst expanding its reach to new audiences. The successful candidate will be required to demonstrate strong organisational and communication skills alongside experience of developing and implementing innovative operational plans and managing a high-performing team. This is an exciting and challenging time to ensure Paths for All’s increasing levels of investment in active and sustainable travel make a contribution to Scotland’s climate change and public health priorities.

In addition, the SCSP Manager is a member of Paths for All’s senior management team contributing to all aspects of organisation wide strategic and operational planning and delivery.
