All Scouters in South East Region

cc: Regional Commissioner

 

Dear Fellow Scouter,

Are you a strong and motivated manager?

South East Region is on the lookout for a new Regional Commissioner when the current Regional Commissioner, Dorothy McKinney, stands down at a date to be agreed. This is an exciting opportunity for someone to lead the Region forward and to ensure we continue to deliver quality Scouting to young people.  This role is not so much about the delivery of Scouting to the youth members but about the strategic development and growth of the movement.  It’s about the ability to lead a team of adults.

As Regional Commissioner you’ll be responsible, amongst other things, for:

• supporting your team of District Commissioners
• managing a team of Assistant Regional Commissioners and advisers
• providing support for the development and growth of Scouting

You can read more about the role and its responsibilities in the job description which we’ve enclosed with this communication.  We’ve also enclosed a personal specification which identifies some of the personal qualities that are required for someone to undertake this role.

You’ll receive direct support from your line manager, the Chief Commissioner of Scotland, as well as the support staff at Scottish Headquarters.  The Regional Commissioner is a volunteer role, though full reimbursement of travel and incurred expenses in accordance with the Association's policy, will be made.

So, irrespective of your age, background or Scouting experience, if you think you have what it takes to stand up, inspire and motivate Scouting in South East Region, or know somebody who does, please do get in touch.

A search party has been set up and if you’re interested in this position please complete the enclosed nomination form, or send in nominations for others you consider suitable to fulfil this key role.  Further information can also be found at www.scouts-scotland.org.uk

Yours in Scouting,
