We have an exciting opportunity for a Development Team Leader to join our team. This is a home working role with travel, you will be working on a part time, fixed term basis (20 hours per week until May 2023). We will offer you a competitive salary of £20,928 per annum pro-rata.

We’re Scouts and everyone’s welcome here - all genders, races and backgrounds. We give over (phone number removed) year olds the skills they need for school, college, university, the job interview: the skills they need for life.

Right across the UK, we’re helping young people gain skills for life and find their place in the world. We help them speak up, play their part and shine bright. Scouts is the place to be yourself and find yourself.

These are young people who are not afraid to stand up for what they believe in, to do the right thing and think of others before themselves.

At a time when communities sometimes feel divided, Scouts brings people together. We’re building stronger communities and contributing to a stronger society. All this is made possible by the generosity of our adult volunteers. Now is a challenging time for us all, but Scouts has never been more important giving young people purpose, hope and a place to belong. With the launch of Squirrels for 4-6 year olds, and opening more units in even more areas of deprivation we’re making more of a difference than ever.

The Development Team Leader Role:

The role will be a fundamental part of taking scouting to new and under-represented communities and will involve working directly with both adults and young people to run and support youth provision.

- Undertaking events to attract young people to scouting (e.g. school assemblies)

- Promoting Scouting through different mediums in the area where a new section is opening

- Supporting and running open evenings and taster sessions for adults and young people

What we are looking for in our Development Team Leader:

- Work independently of direct supervision

- Able to plan and organise own travel

- Work as part of a team

- Be enthusiastic and able to enthuse and motivate others

- Motivated with a determination to make things happen

- A high level of communication skills to build effective relationships with a wide range of people

- A willingness and potential to learn and develop from the experience
