About Us

Ravelston Golf Club is a unique gem in the heart of Edinburgh – just 15 minutes from the city centre. Founded in 1912 and proud to be part of the Association of James Braid Courses, we’re more than just a golf club. With a vibrant membership of over 700 across Men’s, Women’s, and Junior sections, we’re known for our welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of community. Often described as “a village club in a city,” Ravelston is unusual in having an equal split of men and women, creating a truly inclusive environment.

The Role

We’re looking for a Club Secretary who will play a key leadership role in the life of the club. This is not just about administration – it’s about being the heartbeat of a friendly, member-focused community.

The ideal candidate will bring:

- Experience in management, ideally within a golf club, hospitality, or leisure setting.
- A commercially aware approach, balanced with a genuine passion for people and service.
- Strong communication and diplomacy skills, with the ability to listen and
engage.
- A flexible, hands-on attitude – no two days are the same here!
- Familiarity with Club V1 and Xero is helpful, but not essential.
- A relevant qualification in Club Management (or a willingness to work towards one).
- You’ll be supported by a part-time administrative assistant and work closely with the Club Captain, Council, and our dedicated team.

Key Responsibilities

Financial & Administrative:

- Oversee day-to-day operations across the clubhouse, catering, and
administration.
- Manage staff across the clubhouse, catering, and administration.
- Prepare and manage budgets, monitor cash flow, and report monthly
performance.
- Ensure compliance with HR, Health & Safety, and other statutory obligations.
- Manage payroll and maintain clubhouse maintenance plans.
- Organise committee meetings, AGM, and EGM in liaison with the Club Captain and Council.

​​​​​​​Communication & Member Relations:

- Be the main point of contact for members and visitors.
- Keep everyone informed through clear, timely communication across all
channels.
- Build strong relationships with members, visitors, and partner organisations

Golf & Course Liaison:

- Work closely with Murrayfield greenkeeping staff on course management
decisions.
- Manage visitor bookings and enquiries.​​​​​​​

What We Offer:

- A competitive salary based on experience.
- The chance to be part of a club that values people as much as golf.
- A role where your ideas and energy can make a real difference.​​​​​​​
