Newcastle County Commissioner
Do you want to play a vital role in developing Girlguiding in Newcastle?
Would you like to work with other county commissioners and lead volunteer teams to develop Girlguiding in Newcastle and the wider region?
Are you a problem solver, negotiator and manager of people?
If so, have you considered you might be the next county commissioner of Girlguiding Newcastle?
You’ll build a team to work with, and strengthen the relationships already in place. As the chair of trustees you’ll support others to grow guiding and create development opportunities for our young members and adult volunteers.
I recently asked a county commissioner what she was loving most about her role. The response was ‘…lots of personal development… network of guiding friendships grown… ability to manage competing priorities increased… time and people management skills learned…’
If you think this is your time to build a team, build on the legacy of the outgoing commissioner and develop Girlguiding in Newcastle county, send an email to recruitment@girlguidingnortheast.org.uk before 22nd July 2026, to and let’s have a conversation.
In your email, tell us what you’d bring to the role – skills developed within guiding and externally – and what you’d want your legacy to be three years later.
We don’t expect one person to have all of the skills to deliver the role but with support, mentoring and a strong network of commissioner colleagues around you, we can help you be the best you can be.
