About SSS

SSS is a members’ organisation for colleges and universities across Scotland, providing students with sport and active wellbeing opportunities. SSS is at the heart of a network of over 700 clubs and 50,000 participants. It delivers organised sports competitions, provides a range of sports development services and champions the role of sport and active wellbeing at the heart of the student experience.

SSS works for all the universities and colleges in Scotland as an independent organisation. It is hosted by the University of Edinburgh, which provides support in areas including office space, IT, HR support, payroll and pensions.

The Opportunity:

The Events Coordinator role is well established within the organisation and sits at the heart of SSS’ varied calendar of inter college and university sports competitions. The job is central to the planning and successful delivery of sports events and competitions, providing a consistent point of contact between host venues, volunteers, officials, clubs, teams and partners. The role is vital in the planning, delivery and review of events and whilst attendance at a selection of events is required the bulk of on-the-day delivery remains the responsibility of volunteers.

Flexible working is encouraged, built around regular visits to the SSS office at 48 Pleasance, Edinburgh.
