The Scottish Touch Association is seeking applications from individuals interested in a Team Manager position with one of the Scotland teams for the 2011 World Cup in Edinburgh from 22-26 June 2011.

Team Managers (7 positions)

Successful applicants will assist Team Coaches, the National Squad Management Committee and the Tour Manager as teams prepare for and compete at the World Cup.

The role will commence on the 5th of March 2011.
