Places of work

Hampden

Hampden Park is a football stadium in the Mount Florida area of Glasgow, Scotland. The 51,866-capacity venue serves as the national stadium of football in Scotland with a rich history dating back to the turn of the 20^th century. It is the normal home venue of the Scotland national football team and amateur SPFL club Queen's Park FC and regularly hosts the latter stages of the Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup competitions. It is also used for music concerts and other sporting events, such as when it was reconfigured as an athletics stadium for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

The stadium features a range of leading edge offices with some of the best views in the business, which house the Scottish Football Association (SFA) and Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL). The stadium is also home of the Scottish Football Museum, which promotes the heritage of the Scottish game, as well as the Hampden Retail store. Hampden is a UEFA Category 4 stadium and it is served by the nearby Mount Florida and King's Park railway stations.

Oriam

The concept of a national sports performance centre was developed as a result of the McLeish report into Scottish Football. Its aim is to provide our top sportspeople with the facilities, access and support services pivotal for international success.

Oriam is located in the south-west of Edinburgh, six miles from the city centre. As well as leading medicine and sports science resources, Oriam features world class facilities including five grass football pitches; a twelve court sports hall; and a full size indoor 3G pitch. The facility has excellent transport links allowing ease of access to Edinburgh city centre, Edinburgh airport and wider surrounding areas. Train, air, motorway and trunk road networks provide connections to the wider country, UK and beyond.

The Scottish FA is committed to nurturing a high performance culture and to developing our people through learning. We will support you all the way, from your first days in the office (or on the pitch) through a whole series of tailored development opportunities.

We will nurture your talents to allow you to progress whichever way you want to.
