Core Purpose
It’s an exciting time at both Scouts and Girlguiding. We are working together to make the experience for volunteers more inclusive, accessible and welcoming. We want all our volunteers to continue to feel valued, starting from the very first moment they start the recruitment and joining process. This role will greatly contribute to an exciting collaborative project between the organisations, funded by Pears Foundation, which aims to:
- Improve the volunteer experience for new people joining our organisations, as well as those who already volunteer but are changing role.
- Make the recruitment and joining process easier and more inclusive, removing barriers for accessibility and supporting people from underrepresented backgrounds to volunteer.
- Remove some of the administrative burden for current volunteers, making the process more intuitive and flexible.
- Meet modern expectations around volunteering and better suit people’s lifestyles- matching people’s skills sets and needs with the needs of our units and groups.
- Give people options to more easily support both charities and remove barriers for those who volunteer across both.
To help us achieve our shared aims, we are looking for someone with a strong understanding and experience of vetting and safeguarding practices involved with recruiting and onboarding volunteers.
Through aligning our already strong and robust vetting and safeguarding processes, we can make it easier for volunteers to support both organisations, making cross organisational working easier and more effective for future meetings and events.
The role will specifically lead on developing these processes, working with volunteers and staff from across the separate organisations. The role will ensure processes are more aligned, easy to navigate and inclusive- whilst keeping everyone safe.
The right individual for this role will have a passion for collaborative working, sharing best practice and finding practical solutions.
