Programme Design Team Member

Overview of the role

We are an exciting team that aim to design and develop fantastic programme for all members of our organisation. We have several ongoing pieces of work and upcoming projects that enable volunteers to get stuck right in and have real impact. You will have a part in designing programme, see it develop and then watch it reach local Scouting.

We will provide support when inducting you into the role, engage you in an exciting project and then help you on your next steps as a volunteer at the end of the project. This is a great opportunity for those who have never volunteered at Headquarters to give it a go. We would love to see plenty of new faces!

What would I be doing?

This role will be working as part of the Programme Design Team to facilitate work on one of our short-term projects. You will be joining one of our Project Cohorts. After applying, we will review applicants’ skills and experience, before selecting a group to work on a particular project with set goals. 

Our upcoming projects will be aiming to develop our top-quality programme. This is an exciting opportunity to be involved in innovative and impactful programme design. Each project is anticipated to last for 3 months. Once your project is complete, we will support you in your next steps as a volunteer. This could include inviting you to apply to join the Programme Design Team on a long-term basis. 

Application process

At the end of the application form, we also ask applicants to please fill out our Diversity Monitoring Form. 

Selection process

At the time of selecting the cohort, we will shortlist candidates to take part in a short group interview. Anyone not shortlisted who has expressed an interest will remain in the application pool for consideration in the next cohort. The interview will consist of a group exercise where we can learn about:

  • Your passions and motivation for programme

  • Your approach to working in a team and solving problems

  • And any questions you might have about the role.
