SSA launches director recruitment

The SSA is the independent membership organisation for Scottish governing bodies of sport (SGBs), representing and supporting the organisations that govern, develop and promote sport across Scotland.

Established in 1982, the SSA has a long history of advocating for SGBs and ensuring that their voice is represented within national debate and decision making. Its work includes engagement with the Scottish Government, sportscotland and other national stakeholders, responding to consultations, representing the sector on national groups and forums, and providing a range of practical services and support to its members.

Today, however, the SSA is at the beginning of the most significant transformation in its history. A recent review commissioned by sportscotland, in partnership with the SSA and the SGB CEO/COO Forum, considered how SGBs can work together more effectively, to strengthen their collective voice and make better use of shared resources. It concluded that the current landscape is too fragmented and that there is a compelling case for the SSA to be recognised as the single, authoritative and independent organisation to represent SGBs across Scotland.

This provides a rare opportunity for six new directors to join an established organisation and to help guide us through this transformation which will involve developing a new strategy, building a new identity and brand, strengthening our governance and membership, developing our services and partnerships, and ensuring that we have the resources and organisational capacity to match our ambitions.
