About Girlguiding London and South East England

Girlguiding breaks down into gradually smaller groups that deliver good guiding for their area. At the highest level, the UK is split into ten countries and regions. Girlguiding London and South East England is one of the regions of Girlguiding and we are here to deliver and support the business of Girlguiding in the region. The region consists of 19 counties from Sussex, Surrey, Kent, and London, with over 50,000 members. We provide training and support for adult volunteers to enable them to deliver good guiding experiences and share good practice across the region. This is an exciting time to join Girlguiding London and South East England as we are working on our strategy for 2022-2027, reflecting the Girlguiding strategy of ‘Today, Tomorrow, Together’ to meet the needs of our members in today’s society.

About the role

This is an exciting new role for Girlguiding London and South East England region. We are looking for someone to join the team to play a key role in ensuring that our governance structures are professionally supported and our regulatory responsibilities are completed to a high standard. The postholder will be responsible for supporting our Trustees to fulfil their governance, compliance and best practice responsibilities for the organisation.

In the role you will:

  • Provide a professional governance secretariat to the Girlguiding London and South East England trustees.
  • Coordinate the work to support teams of volunteers promoting best practice governance in Girlguiding London and South East England counties.
  • Ensure general administrative support is provided for the London and South East England chief commissioner and her team.

This role will suit someone who is a governance professional, with experience working within a charity or the not-for-profit sector.

This job is offered on a permanent contract, however the hours to be worked per month will fluctuate depending on the number of meetings that are held. The downloadable role description contains an example of an annual meeting schedule, showing when meetings are usually held and how workload is spread across the year. Our trustees are volunteers and as such, the majority of meetings will take place on weekend day (Saturday or Sunday) or weekday evenings.

Actual hours worked will be based on the number of meetings held each year. Undertaking the role will equate to 180 hours per year. We expect that the hours worked will be around 12-20 per month.

This is a hybrid role, with the majority of duties being able to be undertaken from home/remotely, however the postholder will be required to attend in-person meetings at least 6 times per year (majority of which are held at our region office). The postholder is also welcome to work from our region office, in Wandsworth, SW12 8SG, if it is preferred. We would also expect the postholder to attend our region office during their Induction period, to meet the team and familiarise themselves with working for Girlguiding London and South East England.

Applications close at midnight on Monday 2 December 2024.
