Who we are looking for

Individuals with demonstrated experience of working with children aged 0-10 or leading youth or childcare provision, along with experience of leading a team of volunteers or staff, are required. First Aid, Safeguarding or Food Hygiene qualifications are desirable; formal qualifications are not essential, but practical experience is. Strong leadership, decision-making and organisational skills, the ability to manage budgets and resources efficiently, and confidence using electronic communication tools are needed. Flexible, resilient team players with a sense of humour, who communicate well with all ages, work effectively within the wider event leadership team and are committed to the safeguarding standards of both Scouting and Girlguiding, are essential.
