Regional Lead Volunteer, North or West of Northern Ireland

Overview of the role

The work of our team in Scouts NI is all about people and one of the incredible benefits of volunteering in any role in Scouts is the group of people you get to work with. You will join an incredible team of dedicated people leading Scouting in Northern Ireland. You will get to inspire, motivate, shape and support the development of Scouts NI, building friendships and establishing a sense of camaraderie focused around our mission for young people.

Supporting and leading volunteers provides so much more opportunity and experiences than with employees, what you can gain by doing this really well can be a great asset for your professional life as well as in Scouts. The issues and challenges that you find ways to tackle will stretch you as an individual and as a leader and you’ll find yourself discovering new things that you are capable of achieving. If you get a kick out of seeing things happen, achieving success and making a positive impact to a wide audience then volunteering in this team definitely provides all of that. You will get to see the difference that Scouts makes to so many young people’s lives, helping them develop skills for life, fostering friendships and providing so many incredible and unforgettable experiences.

The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting District Lead Volunteers in the effective running of their District and ensuring that young people are given the opportunity to gain skills for life.
