About Ramblers Scotland

Ramblers Scotland is a registered charity and the leading voice for walkers in Scotland. We exist to help everyone, everywhere enjoy walking. We know how much it contributes to improvements in individual and community wellbeing, our strategy sets out to tackle the barriers that prevent more people enjoying those benefits.

About the Role

We’re seeking enthusiastic volunteers to join the Ramblers Scotland Strategic Committee (RSSC) as Ordinary Members. Whether you have experience of effective committee work or are keen to develop new skills, this is a great opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the future of walking in Scotland.

The RSSC plays a key role in overseeing our work, helping to shape strategic direction, guide campaigns, and ensure that walking remains open, accessible, and enjoyable for all.

As an Ordinary Member, you will:

• Contribute to strategic discussions and decisions affecting walking across Scotland
• Work collaboratively with fellow committee members and staff
• Provide insight and advice on key issues related to our mission
• Support our campaigning, policy, and governance work where relevant

This is a national volunteer role involving quarterly in-person committee meetings, with occasional online subgroup or ad hoc sessions. We welcome applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds, especially those who share our passion for walking, nature, and inclusive access to the outdoors.

While the role is unpaid, reasonable travel and subsistence expenses will be reimbursed.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Team: Strategy and Engagement/ EDI

As the EDI Strategy Lead at Walk Wheel Cycle Trust, you will guide our efforts to embed equity, diversity, and inclusion into every part of our work. You’ll take the lead in helping us meet our inclusivity goals, as outlined in our new strategy, ensuring our organisation is welcoming and accessible to everyone—including those who are neurodivergent.

You’ll work closely with the senior leadership team to shape and deliver initiatives that create meaningful, lasting change. Your work will help ensure that Walk Wheel Cycle Trust is a place where people of all backgrounds, identities, and ways of thinking feel valued, supported, and able to thrive.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Lead our EDI work across the UK, ensuring our approach is inclusive of neurodivergent people and others who experience barriers to participation.
• Support learning and reflection across the organisation by helping us better understand how EDI—including neurodiversity—affects our culture, systems, and ways of working. Develop and deliver a four-year EDI action plan, with clear, achievable steps that reflect a wide range of lived experiences and communication styles.
• Coach and mentor Directors and leaders, helping them take shared responsibility for building an inclusive and psychologically safe environment.
• Be a visible advocate for inclusion, representing Walk Wheel Cycle Trust in the media and public spaces, using accessible language and inclusive messaging.
• Collaborate with our fundraising team to identify opportunities that support and sustain our EDI goals.

This role is for someone who enjoys helping leaders and supporting them to think in new ways. You will work alongside them to make positive changes happen. As a “critical friend,” you will be kind, honest, and supportive while helping the charity improve how it includes people.

In this role, you will build trust with leaders, encourage them to see things differently, and give them the support they need to make a bigger impact. Your work will focus on improving opportunities for people who face the greatest barriers to walking, wheeling, and cycling. By doing this, you will help ensure that more people feel included and able to take part.

ABOUT YOU

We’re looking for someone who has experience and understanding in the areas listed below. You don’t need to meet every requirement — if you feel you’d be a good fit, we encourage you to apply.

• Ongoing learning in equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI): You’ve recently taken part in training, development, or reflective practice that deepens your understanding of EDI—including neurodiversity, disability inclusion, and intersectionality.
• Proven experience leading change:
• You’ve successfully guided teams or organisations through change, with a focus on inclusive practices and psychological safety for all—especially those who may experience barriers due to neurodivergence or other marginalisation.
• Leadership in EDI programmes and initiatives: You’ve led or co-led impactful EDI work, such as strategy development, inclusive policy design, or community engagement—centering lived experience and accessibility.
• Inclusive leadership style: You lead in a way that values different communication styles, sensory needs, and ways of thinking. You create space for others to contribute in ways that work for them.
• Experience applying inclusive design principles: You’ve worked with communities and partners to co-create environments, services, or systems that are accessible, welcoming, and responsive to diverse needs—including neurodivergent perspectives.
