A bit about the role
As a Local Growth Officer you will be pro-actively helping the County and its Districts to achieve their growth ambitions focusing specifically on opening new sections by collaborating with local volunteers and our wider Growth & Communities team.
Working as part of the national Growth and Communities Team with a focus on growth for North Yorkshire Scouts. Working under the underrepresented fund will support local Scouting to accelerate our growth in underrepresented communities across the UK by employing dedicated Local Growth Officers to work with volunteers to open new sections and recruit volunteers in communities where Scouting doesn't currently take place.
The fund is focused on creating opportunities for young people in IMD 1-3 and volunteers from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic communities to join Scouts.
You will form productive partnerships with our local key volunteers and help support the wider work of the Growth & Communities Team, Volunteering Operations Department, and Operations and Strategy & Transformation Directorates at Scouts.
