We're recruiting our next Group Lead Volunteer.
After several years as our Group Lead Volunteer, Mike Evans is stepping back to focus on Scouting with the young people. We're now looking for his successor. That might be you, or someone you know.
What’s the role?
The Group Lead Volunteer leads the adult team. It’s a leadership and people role, not a weekly session-leader role with the young people. In a typical month it means a few one-to-one chats with section leaders, a Group leadership meeting, sitting in on the occasional section night, and helping the trustees and section teams pull in the same direction.
If you’ve managed a team at work, run a community group, or led people through change, you already have most of what we need. Full training and support come with the role. Prior Scouting experience isn’t required. The role can be shared between two people if that suits.
The easiest first step is an informal chat. No commitment, no application form, just a conversation. Email volunteer@63rdbristolscouts.org.uk.
Happy to send the full role description and application pack on request.
Other ways to volunteer
Beyond the Group Lead Volunteer role, we welcome volunteers across the Group: section helpers, occasional support at camps, trustees, and people happy to take on small specific tasks (web, photography, comms, fundraising, building maintenance).
Email volunteer@63rdbristolscouts.org.uk and tell us roughly how much time you have and what you enjoy. We’ll work out the rest with you.
What we ask of every volunteer
- A DBS check, organised by us
- Mandatory safeguarding training, which we book in for you
- The few hours a month you can give
