Consultative Group 18-30 member

The role

The consultative group plays an important role in our governance, representing the views of the membership when there are significant decisions to be made by our trustees.

As a member of the Girlguiding Scotland consultative group, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute your views and experiences to help us develop and deliver work at Girlguiding Scotland, particularly the work of our trustee board. You’ll help to make a difference to the lives of thousands of girls

The key skills and attributes that we’re looking for are:

• Confidence to speak up and ensure your views are heard
• Capacity to be proactive in reviewing papers and considering views before meetings
• Excited to be part of shaping the future and ability to think of the bigger picture for the benefit of members and potential members across Scotland
• Able to work with others
• Committed to our values

We’re for all girls and we want Girlguiding Scotland to be a safe and welcoming space for every person that wants to join us. Our volunteers should be as diverse as the girls that we support and inspire which is why we encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. In particular, we would welcome applications from people with disabilities and individuals from ethnic minority groups.

If you need support to help you apply, or need this information in a printed or other format, please let us know in advance so that we can ensure appropriate arrangements are made.
