We're looking for a new Chief Volunteer for International, to provide strategic volunteer leadership for both UK Scouting’s international relationships with the World Organisation of the Scout Movement, National Scout Organisations worldwide and Scouting’s international partner organisations; and the UK’s approach to delivering the international component of our Scout programme for young people.
Operationally play a senior leadership role in the forming and management of our UK contingents to World and European events ensuring that learning from previous events and agreed methods for ensuring effective governance and delivery of these contingents is fully implemented.
You'll provide leadership for the various teams and functions that operate the international services and support for UK Headquarters within UK Scouting and internationally including our International Rep Pool, International Support Team and international endorsements process.
It is our ambition to create the best possible team to lead UK Scouts, and we believe that we will do that by inviting and involving volunteers from different walks of life with different experiences, different skills and perspectives. So at this time we are really keen to provide opportunities for people to develop their skills, interests and experience in Scouting in a supportive and enjoyable way.
You do not need years of experience in Scouts or in life, we are looking to identify volunteers with potential and enthusiasm for what we are here to achieve together for young people who we can help develop along the way.
You can apply for the role yourself using the application form, or nominate someone else using the nomination form.
Nominated people are under no commitment to apply unless they wish to.
A search group has been put together to oversee this process and will review all applications and nominations in order to make decisions as to who to invite to attend the selection stage of this process.
At the end of the application form, we also ask applicants to please fill out our Diversity Monitoring Form. You will be automatically directed to this.
Closing date: 09:00 on Tuesday 1st October 2024
