As the city’s biggest provider of sports coaching, we have almost 14,000 local people taking part in sports every week.

We pride ourselves on delivering a high quality customer experience for all, whether pre-schooler, juniors, adults or within our additional needs programme.

There are a variety of ways to get involved as a volunteer; from assisting with the learn to swim programme to coaching within our disability provision.

It’s our ambition that everyone who volunteers with us feels welcomed, valued, understood and proud to be part of Edinburgh Leisure. Whether its hours, days or months the time you give really does matter.

We currently have the following volunteering opportunities available within our Sports and Aquatics team:
