Can you lead and support the development of Scouting for 14-25 year olds in Avon?

Deputy County Commissioner for 14-25 Development

We’re looking for a capable individual who can develop, lead and manage a team of volunteers to transform and grow our 18-25 provision (The Scout Network) and provide real support to growing and developing Scouting for 14-18 year olds (Explorer Scouts).   

If you can:

• Inspire confidence, trust and respect and deliver change confidently
• Recruit, manage and develop a team of effective volunteers
• Develop and deliver a plan to achieve our strategic aims with 14-25s
• Help young people to play an increasing role in leading their section
• Manage administration, people, projects and resources effectively
• Communicate with clarity and passion to influence and persuade others

You may be just the person we need!

You’ll really understand the needs of the age-range and the adult volunteers who support them. You will need to know or be prepared to learn how Scout Network and Explorer Scouting operate, how they’re administered and managed – and take overall management responsibility for the Scout Network section.  We need a team leader with personal presence, credibility and leadership skills who can deliver success.  You will need to be able to get others excited about and involved in an ambitious plan as part of our County Management Team.
