This is a really exciting time to join Girlguiding Scotland. With nearly 40,000 young members we are the largest charity for girls and young women in Scotland. We’ve been around for over 100 years and have much to be proud of in that rich and vibrant history, but we know that to remain exciting and relevant to young people we must continually evolve.
The overall purpose of the role is:
We’re looking for a collaborative and supportive Development Officer to help disadvantaged girls and young women across Scotland benefit from Girlguiding Scotland’s community-based youthwork opportunities. This role is funded through the Scottish Government’s Generation CashBack project and the successful candidate will be required to contribute to targets associated with this Scotland-wide project.
The role will be engaging with Girlguiding members in deprived communities across Scotland. We’re looking for someone who can build strong relationships quickly and who is comfortable working independently, as well as working as part of the Scottish Membership Development and Growth team. They’ll need to have strong facilitation and communication skills, be comfortable delivering training and youthwork activities and experienced in gathering and using data to inform the direction of their work. They’ll need to possess a high degree of motivation, innovation, and creativity to engage volunteers in target areas and meet the project targets.
*This is a home-based role although regular travel to meet with volunteers and other stakeholders in project areas will be expected. You will also be required to attend monthly meetings at Girlguiding Scotland Headquarters in Edinburgh.
