Job Description

Royal Highland & Agricultural Society of Scotland

Edinburgh RHASS is Scotland’s agricultural charity and is the leading voice for Scottish agriculture and the rural community. Founded in 1784, with the guiding principles to promote the regeneration of rural Scotland, these principles still ring true today. In 2024 and beyond, the charity strives for new ways to preserve, educate and support the industry and people who live and work in the Scottish countryside, by uniting communities and investing in innovation, education, wellbeing and the environment. RHASS is a membership charity, with 16,000 members. This community is built on a legacy of integrity, honesty and genuine care for the countryside and people who have dedicated their lives to it.

Their members play a key role in helping RHASS to realise Scotland’s agricultural ambitions. RHASS supports these communities through funding and awards, empowering farmers, rural businesses, charities and individuals. They fund projects that help advance Scottish agriculture through innovation, wellbeing and sustainable practices, fund placements which educate and connect people to opportunities, fund partner charities and organisations who work in and for the people of rural Scotland (RHET (Royal Highland Educational Trust), RSABI and SAYFC) and further support the sector through the Local Show Engagement fund.

RHASS is known for the delivery of the largest gathering of the agricultural community in the UK, the Royal Highland Show. Held annually, the Show is one of Scotland’s most iconic events, and RHASS’ biggest fundraiser. Showcasing the best of farming, food and rural life at the Royal Highland Centre in Ingliston, the event attracts over 1,000 exhibitors, 4,500 livestock and up to 217,000 visitors. RHASS has three linked organisations; Highland Centre Limited, a trading company managing Scotland’s largest indoor & outdoor venue, SARDC a joint property venture, and The Royal Highland Education Trust.
