We aim “to lead the sustainable growth of netball through raising performance, profile and participation at every level of the pathway, to advance the organisational infrastructure to enable all to enjoy the sport of netball for life and to empower our people to succeed and thrive.”
These past few years have seen netball in Scotland experience a meteoric rise in profile as more people played, watched, enjoyed and invested in our beautiful sport. This success has ignited a fire of ambition and self-belief within us all of what this sport and organisation, as well as the people within it, can truly achieve. We have raised the expectations of a nation and our future has never looked brighter.

Managing the increasing demands of a rapidly growing sport and membership brings with it significant challenges, and in order for the NGB to appropriately support the needs and aspirations of all of our people and partners, we must focus on strengthening our infrastructure to ensure that we are fit for the future that we want to see.
With a Finance Officer on board, the organisation is looking to strengthen the current financial resources, whilst ensuring that compliance and audit requirements are met at all times and that a continuous improvement culture is embedded. This is a key role as the business is looking to enhance cost control, internal financial reporting and insight to better support commercial decisions.
The Finance Officer will work closely with the Head of Operations and the Sirens Operations Manager to provide value-added input on finance and budget management by supporting directly; cost management, budgeting, analysis and operational excellence objectives.
