The Scottish Racing Academy is committed to addressing the gap in horse racing education and training provision available in Scotland and the north.

It has been estimated that there are more than 50 different career paths in the horse racing industry and we want to help attract individuals from all walks of life to fulfil those roles.

Horse racing is the second most popular spectator sport in Scotland – and unlike many other countries, it operates as a year round sport.

The five Scottish racecourses are Ayr, Kelso, Musselburgh, Perth and Hamilton Park which offer both flat and jump events. In 2018, they generated £23.9m, providing 180 full time jobs.

The Scottish Racing Academy has partnered with leading educational centres to help people learn the skills and knowledge to pursue a career in horse racing.

The Scottish Racing Academy is recruiting for a Training and Schools Academy Coordinator.

• The role requires attention to detail, a commitment to access and inclusion and realistic delivery targets. In addition to coordination of the Schools Academy, some delivery and teaching support will be required across other training provision.
• The Scottish Racing Academy is an SQA approved centre and this role may eventually include being the primary point of contact for SQA dependent on experience. 

Education experience is essential, and candidates must have excellent communication skills, be flexible and have a positive attitude.

This role is home based however, we ask that candidates do reside in Scotland as regular travel and lone working is required, you will plan your own diary in line with the learner requirements and schemes of work.

The hours required are 35 hours per week, although occasionally events and evening work might be required.
