Lead national growth and innovation at one of the UK's most recognisable youth organisations.

About The Scouts

The Scouts support over 400,000 young people aged 4-25 across the UK to develop skills for life. At a time when communities can feel divided, Scouts brings people together, helping young people find confidence, belonging, and purpose.

As a Movement the organisation is committed to ensuring that Scouting reflects the full diversity of modern Britain, expanding its reach into communities that have historically been underrepresented.

The Opportunity

This is a senior strategic leadership role, responsible for shaping and delivering Scouts' targeted growth, innovation, and externally funded programmes.

You will work as part of the Movement Support & Growth Department, which exists to support the conditions for local Scouting to thrive. Importantly, since Scouts is a volunteer-led movement, your role will be to enable, influence, and strengthen the delivery of Scouts to young people.

This is a unique opportunity to:

• Lead a national growth portfolio focused on inclusion and impact
• Translate funding into sustainable, community-led growth
• Shape how Scouts engages with underrepresented communities
• Develop and scale new models for growth and delivery

Key Responsibilities

You will:

• Lead the design and delivery of targeted and funded growth programmes, ensuring clear outcomes in membership growth and access
• Champion inclusive, equity-driven approaches, ensuring work is informed by community insight and lived experience
• Develop and scale innovative models for growth, embedding learning across the organisation
• Work closely with Strategic Fundraising, using data and insight to support funding development and reporting
• Build strong alignment across HQ, nations, regions, and volunteer leadership, influencing at all levels
• Provide clear reporting on impact, value for money, and learning
• Lead and develop specialist teams, empowering them to deliver high-quality work

About You

You'll be a strategic, systems-thinking leader who thrives in complex environments and can bring together multiple stakeholders around shared goals.

You don't need to come from a Scouting background, but you will bring:

• Experience leading large-scale programmes, portfolios or innovation work
• Strong understanding of funded or grant-funded programmes
• Ability to translate strategy into scalable delivery models
• Experience working with or alongside underrepresented communities, building trust and sustainable engagement
• Confidence influencing across complex, matrixed organisations
• A collaborative leadership style, with the ability to empower specialist teams and volunteers

Critically, you will bring a genuine commitment to equity, inclusion and community-led approaches.

Why this role?

This is a rare opportunity to combine strategy, innovation, and social impact at scale.

You'll play a key role in ensuring that more young people, especially those who might not traditionally access Scouting, can benefit from its life-changing opportunities.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The Scouts are committed to building an inclusive organisation where everyone feels they belong. Applications are particularly welcomed from people from communities that are underrepresented in Scouting, including Black communities, Muslim communities, and others who may have faced barriers to participation.

At Charity People, we believe that diversity strengthens organisations and we actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences.
