Cricket Scotland is seeking to appoint a Head Coach to lead the development of our national women’s team and performance programme.  Our women’s team have recently returned from a global qualifying event in Thailand where the team finished fourth out eight countries, reaching the semi-finals of the competition.

The successful candidate will be tasked with leading a small but committed team of support coaches, with the clear goal of developing enhanced skill levels and a winning mentality - and group of players capable of being competitive and winning against the world’s top ten countries.
