Board Director

Organisation: Scottish Cycling
Salary: Board Member (Voluntary)
Location: Scotland
Contract type: Volunteer (Part time)
Closing date: 25 April 2026
Job Description: Scottish Cycling is the trading name of the Scottish Cyclists’ Union (a company limited by guarantee) and while
it has members rather than shareholders, it is still legally required to have Directors. Directors have the legal
responsibility of making sure that the Company operates within the law and within its own rules and
regulations (the Memorandum, Articles of Association, Byelaws and Rules). They have the duty to make sure
that the assets and resources of Scottish Cycling are used in the proper manner to further the objects of the
Company.
On a day-to-day basis the Directors delegate much of this function to paid employees through the Chief
Executive Officer, but they may not delegate or avoid the legal responsibilities imposed on them by their
position.
Directors should continually seek to establish and maintain confidence in the activities of Scottish Cycling and
its employees. They should be independent in judgement and have an inquiring mind. To be effective, Directors
need to build open and trusting relationships with the other Directors, the Company's employees, members
and stakeholders.
Directors should ensure they are well-informed about Scottish Cycling and the sporting and commercial
environment in which it operates. Once in post, Directors should develop and refresh their knowledge and
skills to ensure that their contribution to the Board remains informed and relevant
