In this role you’d lead the District Support Team which gives tools and resources to help Scouts run smoothly in the district. As part of the District Leadership Team, you’ll also help lead and inspire volunteers to give young people great experiences and skills for life
Scouts take part in a wide range of activities as diverse as kayaking, abseiling, expeditions overseas, photography, climbing and zorbing. As a Scout you can learn survival skills, first aid, computer programming or even how to fly a plane. There’s something for everyone. It’s a great way to have fun, make friends, get outdoors, express your creativity, and experience the wider world.
This everyday adventure is only possible thanks to our team of adult volunteers, who support Scouts in a wide range of roles from working directly with young people, to helping manage a local community-based Group, to being a charity Trustee. We help volunteers get the most out of their experiences at Scouts by providing opportunities for adventure, training, fun and friendship.
Our award-winning training scheme for volunteers means that adults get as much from Scouts as young people. Our approach focuses on what you want to get out of volunteering with Scouts, while respecting how much time you can offer. Over 90% of Scout volunteers say that their skills and experiences have been useful in their work or personal life.
We’re currently looking for a Support Team Lead. This is a management role, and we need someone who can provide leadership, motivation and guidance to our adult volunteers.
A large part of this role involves managing and supporting adult volunteers, including those working directly with young people. For any adult volunteer in scouting, their manager will be a regular port of call for support
You don’t need any prior experience of Scouting to apply for this role, we’ll make sure you’re fully trained and supported.
