Are you a proficient coordinator?

Our adult volunteers need your support to manage their qualifications and concerns as they run the internationally recognised Girl Guides program for girls aged 5-17.

No previous Girl Guides experience is necessary.

This role exists to coordinate and support the youth leaders who run Girl Guides sessions weekly at the Girl Guide Hall. As a manager, you will be their first point of call. Supported by your fellow Region volunteers and by the team at Girl Guides Victoria Headquarters, you will lead the following activities:

• Attract and retain volunteers
• Supporting volunteers to gain and maintain their qualifications
• Problem resolution
• Award presentations for youth and adult members
• Networking with local organisations to support and promote Guiding
• Ensure policies and risk management procedures are followed
• Oversee access to and suitability of youth meeting venues

You are more likely to be successful in this role if you have management skills in:

• People
• Events
• Risk
• Property

The role is time-flexible and suitable for job sharing. Some formal meetings are required (see Time Commitments below). You will chair meetings, handle administration and volunteer management, and visit youth member meetings from time to time.

Time Commitments:

• Weekly administration and support (flexible)
• Monthly or bimonthly meetings with the volunteers in your local area (2 hours)
• Quarterly meetings with the volunteers in your broader region (2 hours)
• E-Learning and face to face training (3-5 days annually)

There is strong and growing demand for Girl Guides in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, and this opportunity is a chance to ensure girls and young women have access to leadership and personal growth opportunities.

The role of Manager is not to do everything, but to provide leadership, ensure accountability and coordination.
