Membership Office Volunteer Volunteer Roles in Belfast
It is an exciting time to be involved in Scouting, as we develop and progress our Skills for Life strategy, in order to prepare better futures and deliver skills for life to young people who want to access Scouting.
The County Lead Volunteer (County Commissioner) role is an important UK Headquarters appointment within the England Team, responsible for providing inspirational and effective leadership for one of the 60 English Counties. As County Lead Volunteer (County Commissioner) you will take the lead for implementing our 2018-25 strategy with your team of 18 District Commissioners and ensuring they feel motivated and supported to lead the Scout Groups in their Districts to success.
As a County Lead Volunteer you will be able to really develop and hone your leadership skills by managing teams of remote volunteers across the breadth of Hertfordshire. Leading and managing 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 the County Lead Volunteer role definitely provides all of that. In this role you will get to see the difference that Scouts makes to so many young people’s lives across a large area, helping them developing skills for life, fostering friendships and providing so many incredible and unforgettable experiences.
