Help shape the next generation of leaders by supporting exciting development opportunities for young people across Scouts WA. Working alongside passionate youth members and adult volunteers, you will help create experiences that build confidence, leadership and life skills. 

As part of the Youth Development Team, you will contribute to the planning and delivery of personal development courses, workshops and learning opportunities that help young people grow. You will work closely with Venturer Scouts, Rover Scouts and other volunteers to create engaging and inclusive experiences where young people are encouraged to learn, lead and succeed. 

This role is a great opportunity to share ideas, develop your own leadership skills and make a meaningful impact on the growth and development of young people throughout Scouts WA. 

Why This Role Matters

The Youth Development Team helps young people gain the confidence, skills and experience they need to reach their full potential. By supporting courses, workshops and youth development initiatives, you will help create positive learning experiences that strengthen young leaders, support volunteers and contribute to the future of Scouts WA. 

Key Focus Areas:

• Support the planning and delivery of youth development courses and activities across Scouts WA. 
• Help facilitate leadership, teamwork, communication and personal development learning opportunities for young people. 
• Assist with Unit Management Workshops for Venturer Scouts and Rover Scouts. 
• Support the Youth Helpers program and encourage young people developing leadership and program delivery skills. 
• Contribute ideas, feedback and continuous improvement initiatives while fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment. 

We Encourage You to Apply

We encourage you to apply, even if you don’t think you tick every box. Research consistently shows that people often rule themselves out of opportunities because they don’t meet every listed criterion. Scouts WA is looking for enthusiastic, capable people who are willing to learn, contribute and grow. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.

You will not be expected to know everything from day one. You will receive guidance, support, and opportunities to build your skills and grow in the role.

We are looking for people with the right attitude and strong organisational skills. Professional experience is welcome, but practical skills developed through work, volunteering or personal projects are also valuable.
