Welcome

I am so pleased that you are interested in joining our team. This is a really exciting time to join Girlguiding. With half a million members we are the largest charity dedicated to girls and young women in the UK, and one of the largest and leading youth charities. We have much to be proud of in our over one hundred years of history, but we know that to remain vibrant and relevant to young people we must continually evolve.

In the past few years we have begun a process of significant change: transforming the organisation so it can meet the challenges of the future by putting young people at the heart of our organisation. We are on a mission to amplify the voices of girls and young women, so they can champion change in their own lives and the wider world; to build strong partnerships that can increase our reach and impact; and to increase the support we offer our 100,000 amazing adult volunteers who deliver incredible experiences to young people across the UK every week.

In 2018 we revealed the largest overhaul of our offer to girls in our history, providing hundreds of new informal education activities and, of course, our famous badges that will equip girls with the skills and experiences they need to thrive in today’s world. We are always looking for skilled, passionate people to help us enable even more girls and young women to fulfil their potential, and while Girlguiding’s young membership is only open to girls and young women, our staff team is mixed gender and we welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

I am immensely proud to be Acting CEO of this fantastic charity. After reading the application pack I hope you feel inspired to join us. Warmest wishes,

Ruth Marvel Acting Chief Executive
