Cub Volunteer Experience Lead

Purpose of the role

The Cub Volunteer Experience Lead is part of the Volunteer Experience Team, supporting volunteers in Cub Packs across the District to deliver a great programme for young people.

They bring Cub volunteers together, help Packs share ideas and good practice, and make it easier for volunteers to access the knowledge, resources and support available across the District.

The role works alongside the District Events and Activities Teams, which provide District-wide events, adventurous activities and specialist activity support.

Responsibilities

The Cub Volunteer Experience Lead will:

• Get to know Cub volunteers across the District and help create a friendly, supportive network between our Cub Packs.
• Run and chair regular District Cub Leader Meetings, bringing Cub volunteers together to share updates, discuss ideas and challenges, and shape how the District can support its Cub Packs.
• Bring volunteers together to share programme ideas, resources, experiences and good practice.
• Help Cub volunteers find the programme resources, knowledge and support they need, connecting them with other volunteers and District teams where useful.
• Encourage Packs to work together where sharing ideas, skills or opportunities could make delivering a great Cub programme easier.
• Support volunteers with developments in the Cub programme and help Packs provide a broad range of opportunities, including progress towards Top Awards.
• Listen to Cub volunteers, understand what would help them, and share common needs and opportunities with the wider District team.

What success looks like

Cub volunteers feel connected to a wider community across the District and know where they can go for ideas, advice and support.

Good ideas, resources and experience are shared between Packs, making it easier for volunteers to deliver varied and engaging programmes without every team having to reinvent the wheel.

Cub Packs collaborate where it makes sense, and the District understands what its Cub volunteers need so that the right support, activities and events can be provided.
