Assistant Beaver Leader

The Beavers are 6 to 8 years old, so we are definitely looking for someone with lots of energy with this section!

As an assistant to the Beaver leader, you won't be suddenly taking on a whole group of children by yourself. The role of the assistant leader is just that; to assist. You'll work with the leader to plan nights, activities, games and help to run them. You will often be communicating with the parents about upcoming events, and helping to keep admin such as the register and records of payments.

If you are a young person looking at working in a nursery or primary school environment in the future, working with the Beavers offers invaluable first hand experience. You'll be gaining skills in leadership, communication and organisation whilst having fun and meeting new people.

Training

You won't be thrown straight in the deep end if you volunteer to become a leader, and we know that everyone comes from different levels of experience. For this reason, along with the support of other leaders, you will be given free leader training that will teach you everything about Scouting and leading to get to you on your way.

Hours

Beaver nights run weekly on Monday Nights during school term time, and we have the same half terms and holidays as schools. The evenings themselves are an hour and a half, and there will be some planning meetings and events outside of that time.

Can't do every week? If you still want to volunteer but you don't think you can commit to every week, you can do every other week, a few times a term, or whatever suits you. We're flexible!
