We’re looking for people who care deeply about our Youth Programme, the activities our young people take part in, and the outcomes young people achieve as a result. We need someone really inspiring – like yourself - to support our local volunteers in making adventurous and nights away activities easier to deliver.
You could occasionally help on specific projects, or take a leading role in shaping our strategy and priorities. You don’t need to be an expert, and you’ll get lots of support to grow into your role. Whatever that role is, in partnership with our staff team, you’ll be helping to shape how we help young people develop skills for life.

You’ll be part of a friendly team of volunteers and staff members who will support you in your role. We will cover your expenses (all travel and out of pocket expenses associated with the role, according to the expenses policy) and support any other adjustments we can make to enable you to volunteer with us.
The Roles
Here’s a bit more about the different roles we have to offer:
- UK Programme Adventure Team Leader
Focussed on leading on the continuous development and deployment of our adventurous programme content and support delivery of adventurous and nights away activities in Scouting, in partnership with the Senior Programme Managers and National Safety Manager. You will shape our programme content so that more young people realise the outcomes in our Theory of Change, and inform what else we should be providing to meet our strategic goals.
- UK Programme Adventure Team Members
Focused on supporting the adventurous areas of programme, you may be involved in the continuous development of our adventurous programme, advising on specific technical aspects or supporting local volunteers to deliver the adventurous programme; or a mixture of all of the above. We are particularly looking for individuals with depth of experience delivering adventurous activities, the Nights Away and Adventurous Activity Schemes and national assessors.

The National Awards Advisory Group provides support and guidance to local within Scouts with awards and recognitions of service, as well as considering nominations for specific awards and making recommendations to the Chief Scout.
We also monitor the rules and procedures concerning awards and recognition and we’re now looking for two people aged 18-22 years old, who care deeply about ensuring individuals are recognised/rewarded appropriately to join our group.
The group meet virtually about once a month to make formal decision on awards, but members are also required to e.g. answer email requests or review papers such as nomination forms outside of these meetings, which you can fit in when you have time.
We want our National Awards Advisory Group to reflect all aspects of the Scouts, so we’d especially like to welcome applications from underrepresented groups including women, those from a racial minority background as well as those involved in LGBTQ+ communities. If you’re not from one of these areas but do have the knowledge and experience for this role, we’d still like to hear from you.
We’re looking for people who can use their experiences to help move the current work of the National Awards Advisory Group forward but those who can also help shape the future of the group and its impact at a local level. You should be comfortable in decision making as well as bringing constructive challenge where necessary, so if you’re interested, please apply or get in touch.

Medical Aid for Palestinians is seeking to appoint at least two, and up to four, additional Trustees, one of whom is to be appointed as Chair-designate.
The Trustees are the governing body of MAP and are, collectively and personally, ultimately responsible for all the charity’s activities. MAP is a company limited by guarantee, so the Trustees are also the legal Directors of the charitable company.
Trustees are responsible for providing appropriate oversight, governance and strategic leadership to MAP in the pursuit of its charitable purposes.
MAP particularly welcomes applications from people with one or more of the following:
· Palestinian heritage or lived experience in the occupied Palestinian territories.
· Professional medical or clinical expertise, particularly in the contexts of international development and/or conflict.

Relationships
· Build and maintain effective relations between the Board, MAP’s staff (in the UK, the occupied Palestinian territories and Lebanon) and its external stakeholders.
Strategy and Performance
· Contribute actively to the Board’s role in giving strategic direction, setting overall policy, defining objectives and setting targets.
· Keep informed about the activities of MAP and wider issues which affect its work.
· Regularly review and evaluate the performance of the charity’s management in meeting agreed goals and objectives.
· Ensure MAP’s projects and programmatic activities are critically monitored and evaluated.
· Ensure the Board’s decisions are effectively implemented by the Chief Executive Officer.
· Ensure MAP’s long-term sustainability.

· Participate in Board induction, training and evaluation, individually or as a member of the Board, as appropriate.
· Attend Board and applicable sub-committee meetings, and read the papers provided in advance of the meetings.
· Participate in individual and Board performance appraisals, and attend any additional training recommended as a result of the evaluation process.
· Uphold the highest standards of integrity and probity.
Person Specification
Skills and Abilities
· Understands MAP’s aims and objectives and are aligned with the organisation’s fundamental values.
· Has prior governance experience at board level or equivalent, which may be in the charity, public or private sectors.
· Ability to think strategically.
· Ability to base their judgements on relevant and reliable evidence.
· Capacity to work effectively as part of a team and take an inclusive and collegial approach to discussions and decision making.

· A strong personal connection to MAP’s aims and objectives.
· Proven track record of strategic leadership in complex international operations.
· Demonstrated success in chairing Boards or governance committees.
· A clear appreciation of the governance role of the Board and the delegation of specified responsibilities to management.
Terms and Conditions
Duration
The Trustee will be appointed to serve for an initial term of three years. At the end of the initial term, the Trustee will be eligible to be re-appointed for up to two further three-year terms.
Location
There are no requirements regarding a Trustee’s location. MAP’s head office is in Central London. Trustees are encouraged to attend meetings in person, but if this is not possible, videoconference facilities are provided.
Remuneration
The role of the Trustee is a voluntary one and is therefore unpaid. However, MAP will reimburse all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee in the course of their duties.
Time Commitment
Immediately following an appointment, MAP will agree on a personalised induction plan. The time commitment for this plan will depend partly on the Trustee’s prior knowledge and experience.
MAP hold a minimum of four board meetings a year, conducted on a hybrid basis as noted above. These normally last between three and four hours including a break. There is usually also one full-day session per year dedicated to strategic planning, for which attendance in person is highly desirable.
The Trustee will be expected to join one of the sub-committees of the board. Sub-committee meetings are also held four times a year, on a hybrid basis, and normally last around two hours.
In addition to preparing for and attending meetings, the Trustee will be expected to participate in routine governance activities such as training, appraisals, and recruitment or exit interviews.
Ordinarily, the above commitments would entail between one and two days per month. Applicants are advised that, since the events of October 2023, MAP’s activities have expanded enormously and some of the current Trustees have been contributing significantly more time than this.
The deadline for applications is Sunday 17th November 2024.
