Current Vacancies

RYA Scotland currently employs 15 staff in a wide range of roles, from performance to training to development alongside administrators to assist in promoting and protecting boating activities, alongside over 70 volunteers contributing and leading our work for the boating community in Scotland.

Thanks for visiting this page, we are currently recruiting for volunteers to join the RYA Scotland Board and RYA Scotland Participation & Development Committee.

RYA Scotland Board vacancies

We are seeking two motivated individuals to join our RYA Scotland Board of Directors, an Honorary Treasurer and a Director of Coaching.

Our new Directors will ideally be active members of the sailing and boating community, in any aspect of participation. You do not need to be a highly qualified sailor with an impressive sailing CV, but you must have a passion for water sports, an ability to work with others and a desire to help develop the sport.

Being a member of the RYA Scotland Board is a great way to apply your professional skills and expertise to support the sailing and boating community in Scotland, and is a positive way to give back and connect with the community.

We believe strongly in equality, diversity and inclusion and value very highly the benefits of having different points of view and experiences in our organisation. Accordingly, we hope to receive applications from a wide range of talented people regardless of their own characteristics.

Appointments will be for up to 3 years, although a second term is possible.

More information about the RYA Scotland Board and the above roles can be found in our recruitment pack.

Interested? The closing date for applications is Monday 2 June 2025. To apply, please send your CV and a short covering letter to admin@ryascotland.org.uk.

If you have any questions about either role, please email admin@ryascotland.org.uk
