Region volunteer vacancies.

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 31 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.

Are you looking for an opportunity to have your say, champion girl-led guiding and help us to shape the future of Girlguiding North East England? You might step in front or behind the camera to create campaigns for social media, work collaboratively with our region team, or develop a new idea for a topic you want us to explore. There’s a range of opportunities available to our youth network members and support available at every step.

Applications are now open for new members aged 14-30. You’ll join us for an initial one-year term and have the option to extend your role to a maximum of three years. Download the application pack for more details. Applications close on 18 September 2026.

Calling all 14-17 year olds in North East England! Whether you’ve already begun your young leader development programme (YLDP) or are just getting started, we want to hear from you. We’re launching a young leader forum and are looking for enthusiastic individuals to help shape the future of our region. This is your chance to share your experience of the YLDP with our region young leader coordinator, influence upcoming events, and become the voice of young volunteers in North East England. If you’re passionate about making a difference, want to get involved and share your experiences as a young leader, please email info@girlguidingnortheast.org.uk to express your interest.

We are looking to recruit a number of members aged 18-30 to create some new and exciting content for the Region social media channels.

We are looking for members who are confident either in front or behind the camera to create videos showcasing life as a member aged 18-30 in Girlguiding North East England; such as day in the life, event vlogs and story takeovers. Support can be provided with editing and sharing of content. The opportunity will fulfil either the volunteer or growth and retention sections of the Queen’s Guide award at a region level, subject to suitable participation. The role will initially be for one year. If you would like to apply to be an Inspire social influencer, please email inspire@girlguidingnortheast.org.uk and we will provide more information.
