These role descriptions and vacancy packs are designed to help you in the process of recruiting adults. They are specific to roles in Scotland and are not applicable in the rest of the UK. If the role you are looking for is not listed below, then you can find the UK-wide role descriptions here. Please note that not all UK roles are present in Scotland due to differences in the structure of Scouting. You can find a list of all Scottish roles, along with a summary of their appointment requirements here.
You should use these role descriptions and vacancy packs as part of the six steps of recruitment, initially in step one to help you decide the tasks you need doing, and then in steps five and six in discussion with the individual you've asked as your 'best choice'.
The Volunteer Vacancy Packs downloaded from this page do not indicate that a position is currently vacant and should be used by the relevant Scouting body to recruit for the role. Any open roles at Scottish Headquarters would be advertised in an eNews bulletin, or on our website news page.
