Cricket Scotland has an exciting opportunity for a Fielding Consultant to support the Women’s National Squad as they prepare for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup taking place in England this year.

 

As the national governing body for cricket in Scotland, we deliver the game from grassroots to international level, with our national teams competing on the global stage. This short-term consultancy will play an important role in supporting the performance environment as the team prepares for one of the most significant tournaments in the international calendar.

 

Working alongside the Head Coach and wider performance staff, the Fielding Consultant will provide specialist expertise in fielding preparation, training delivery and performance development, helping ensure the squad is fully prepared to compete successfully at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

 

This is a fixed-term consultancy for approximately two months from 20 May until the conclusion of the World Cup, supporting the team during their preparation phase and tournament period.

Cricket Scotland is the national governing body for the sport of cricket in Scotland. We are responsible for organising and developing the game at every level, from grassroots participation to elite international competition. Our primary goal is to promote and enhance the growth of cricket in Scotland, both in terms of player development and the overall popularity of the sport. Our four-year strategy, Uniting People and Communities through Cricket (2024–2028), is underpinned by our values and sets out a clear vision for the future of the game.

 

Cricket has a long history in Scotland, with records dating back to the 18th century, and Scotland became an Associate Member of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 1994.

 

The Scotland men’s and women’s national teams regularly compete in international tournaments, achieving notable successes with memorable victories against higher-ranked teams and strong performances in global competitions. These achievements have raised the profile of cricket in Scotland and inspired more young people to take up the sport.

 

Alongside international success, Cricket Scotland is committed to developing cricket at grassroots level. We support and organise leagues, tournaments and coaching programmes across the country to grow participation, identify talent, and provide the training and resources needed for players to progress in the game.

 

The ICC Women’s T20 World Cup represents a major opportunity for Scotland Women to showcase their talent on the global stage.

 

This role offers the chance to work within an elite high-performance environment, supporting the squad’s preparation and contributing to the delivery of high-quality fielding performance during a major ICC tournament.

 

Working closely with the Head Coach and performance team, you will provide specialist coaching support, contribute to training design and delivery, and help ensure players are technically and mentally prepared to perform at their best in international competition.
