We’re looking for an enthusiastic and talented person who can lead and support Scouts in Suffolk as our next County Lead Volunteer during the implementation of ambitious transformation plans within our Skills for Life strategy.
The County Lead Volunteer is a key volunteer leadership role within Scouting with responsibility for providing outstanding management and support for the eight Districts within the County.
The primary focus for the County Lead Volunteer is to ensure that Scouting is able to reach every young person in the County; open to all regardless of faith, colour or social background, because we believe Scouting has the ability to change lives.
This is achieved by leading the team of District Lead Volunteers, and other County appointments as well as working with the Growth & Communities Team (HQ employed staff) to provide enough places to meet the demand for Scouting, and by ensuring that every youth member has access to a high-quality balanced programme that is challenging, relevant and rewarding.
Our new County Lead Volunteer will be joining a team of talented, focused volunteers who are all passionate about bringing brilliant Scouting to every young person who wants to take part and enjoy having fun in the process.
We want to create the best possible team to lead Scouts in Suffolk and believe that we’ll do that by inviting and involving volunteers from different walks of life with different experiences, different skills and perspectives.
You can find all the details about the role for Suffolk here if you’re interested to give it a go and apply yourself, or nominate someone you know that you think would be brilliant as our next County Lead Volunteer of Suffolk!
In the meantime, thank you for all that you do with and for our youth members.
With best wishes,
Ian Newbery
Regional Lead Volunteer
