The Group Lead Volunteer strategically leads the charity, ensuring the young people get the best possible Scouting programme and that the volunteer leaders are well supported through excellent line management.
Eling Sea Scout Group is a successful Sea Scout group and young peoples charity with a modern and well resourced hall at a local nature reserve lake in Totton. Through large scale fundraising events, they have erected a new headquarters for the benefit of their young people, all while their old hall was on the brink of leaving them homeless. Now, after a number of short-term lead volunteers, they need an experienced leader to help navigate them through the next few years.
There is support available from other volunteers in the area and many of the responsibilities of the role can be shared within a leadership team or through a role share. We would welcome anyone with management experience or experience of running a charity to provide some stability within the Group for an upcoming period, and to help nurture the next generation of management within the group to aid future succession planning.
Please contact us to apply or discuss the role requirements further.
