Job Vacancies
A large organisation like Scouts Australia NSW needs many enthusiastic volunteers and dedicated professional employees to keep the Movement going strong.
From professional staff and advisers, to activity centre managers and event contingent leaders, fresh talent is always on demand.
Below are a list of roles, both paid and volunteer, currently available at Scouts NSW:
A number of roles within South Metropolitan Region are now available for an Expression of Interest (EOI).
Any adult member (including Rover Scouts) within Scouts NSW, but most importantly South Metropolitan Region may apply for any of the listed roles. If you are already in a role, we encourage you to complete the EOI process to be considered for reselection. You do not need to have had senior leadership experience in Scouts or have worked your way up through the ranks. It is much more important that you have a positive attitude, care deeply about the opportunities Scouts can bring to young people, and that you are recognised as a great leader of people, who is also a fun, collaborative and communicative team player.
The available roles and position descriptions are available by clicking the headings below.
Submit your EOI here.
EOI closes promptly at 11.59pm on Thursday, 30 November 2023.
