The following list of role descriptions are designed to help you as part of the process of recruiting adults.
You should use them as part of the six steps of recruitment. initially in step one to help you decide the tasks you need doing, and then in steps five and six in discussion with the individual you've asked as your "best choice".
They are designed to be simple to use, with space available to write in "specific" or local responsibilities, helping you and the individual to "know or understand their role" before they agree to take the role on.
Each role description is not a prescriptive list but an outline of the main tasks of each role in Scouting. You can add or remove tasks, depending on what you agree with the individual concerned.
If you have any comments about these guideline role descriptions then please contact the Adult Support Office (adult.support@scout.org.uk).
