About the role

As the I Bike Officer for Falkirk, you will offer support to selected schools and community groups across the area to enable pupils and their families to walk, wheel, scoot and cycle to school more regularly.

This is a fixed-term contract with funding until June 2023 with the possibility of an extension after that date. Due to the nature of the role, a PVG is required.

You will engage with schools and communities across Falkirk, developing and delivering activities and events in schools that promote and enable all forms of active travel to school through practical skills incentive programmes and classroom sessions.

You will work closely with Falkirk Council and other local partners to support the delivery of on-road cycle training (Cycling Scotland and Bikeability levels 1 and 2) and aid Bikeability Scotland Instructor training, allowing schools to cascade on-road cycle training (Bikeability Level 2) to pupils.

I Bike Falkirk has been running since 2015 and supports the work of a number of local teams including Falkirk Council's Transport Planning Team. If successful, you will be part of a local working group of all interested partners.  This working group aims to ensure that I Bike complements and strengthens existing initiatives within Falkirk.

About you

You should have experience working with children of primary or early secondary school age (ages 9-14), and should have experience in leading group workshops and event planning.

You should be able to adapt your communication style with ease to ensure engagement with both partners and pupils.

Ideally, you will have experience in delivering physical activity lessons and have an understanding of community-based or environmental projects.

We aim to be a truly inclusive employer and welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, in particular from under-represented groups. Sustrans is committed to reducing inequality, valuing diversity and enabling inclusion.
