The successful candidate would need to be prepared to obtain their Leadership Qualification and, in time, take over the running of the unit.
Perfect role for an existing or previous Guiding Leader.

No experience is needed, but we need reliable volunteers, and previous experience working with youth is an advantage.
GirlGuiding New Zealand’s health and safety policy also has requirements around adult-to-child ratios, so we require you to be older than 18.

If you want to make a difference, we would love to talk with you about our various volunteering roles. So, get in touch now!

A Police background check is required for this role.

This role would require a 2-4 hour a week commitment for planning and running activities. If this doesn’t suit you, we would love to talk with you about other more flexible options that may suit you. Ideally, we are looking for someone prepared to train towards their Leadership Qualification and take over the running of the unit next year.
