1st Hertford Scout Group

Group Lead Volunteer

What is a Lead Volunteer?

 

Central to everything we do, Lead Volunteers are our inspirational facilitators, supporting our teams in making sure everything at Scouts is fun, safe and inclusive. 
We’re looking for belly-laughers, double-checkers, logical-thinkers, forward-planners and calm-reassurers. Our Lead Volunteers don’t do big drama. They’ve the life experience and know how to share advice on solving a problem over a mug of tea and biscuits. 
We’re talking about people who understand how to create a positive environment, support their team, keep across projects and find new talent. They’ll lead their team of volunteers by offering support and helping them every step of the way. Know nothing about tents? Don’t worry, we’ll help you learn everything you need to know! Can you lead by example and give others the space to shine? If the answer is ‘Yes’, you sound like a Lead Volunteer to us! 

1st Hertford is a thriving Scout Group located next to the River Lee in Hertford; we provide creative and exciting activities for our Beaver Colony, 2 Cub Packs, Scout and Sea Scout Troops. The Group has over 100 young people attending every week, with an amazing team of adults leading and supporting each section. Chris, our Lead Volunteer for the past 10 years, is looking for someone new to take on this role.

The way in which Scouts is run is going through a period of transition and part of this is changing our structure.

This is a flexible Scouting role, and we are looking for someone who can grow the existing volunteer team – so parts of the role can be shared too.

No prior experience of Scouting is necessary as full training and support will be offered, but good communication skills, an ability to work with a wide range of people and a passion for ensuring that our young people get the very best experiences is essential.
