District Lead Volunteer for Tewkesbury with oversight of North Cotswold

The District Lead Volunteer or District Lead Volunteer Team will be the area managers who lead the District Team(s) along with the District Youth Lead(s) in supporting the local Scout Groups so that the young people get the best quality scouting they can. We recognise that this role will suit either an individual or a role share with a team of 2 or 3 people.

We are looking for volunteer adults who want to make a difference in their local communities, someone who has enthusiasm and enjoys working with other adults and young people. Could this be you or do you know someone who has the ability to motivate others? Do you know someone who you think would make a great DLV or work well as part of a Team? There is no requirement to be a current member of Scouting.

What’s in it for you?

You will know that you are making a difference to the young people and the adults within the District. Scouting is flexible and this role is open to role share within a small team. The DLV or DLV Team will be working with an existing team of adults including our District Youth Lead to ensure every young person and adult has what they need to be confident in what they do. You will have access to learning relevant to the role and will have an induction to ensure you get the very best start in the role. The skills that you will use as a District Lead Volunteer, such as Leadership, can enhance your CV and can be a great way to demonstrate to prospective employers that you have additional skills.

Leadership and Management

The ability to share skills and knowledge

Having a focus on fun
