You could be part of a team of like-minded, enthusiastic people who love nature and want younger generations to experience that sense of awe when encountering something new or the excitement of being part of a bigger movement to save nature.
**What do you need to know?**
· You will use your existing skills to lead and motivate a team of dedicated volunteers, delegating tasks by getting to know everyone’s strengths and experiences.
· You will be the main link with the RSPB youth team and be responsible for sharing information to the youth group. The
RSPB Youth Team will support you to ensure the group is using our framework and operating within our standards.
· You will need to be confident with using a computer for example to communicate using email to send required documentation.
· With your team you will plan the programme and run the sessions in a safe and fun way. The programme will be made up of activities where young people can experience and take meaningful action to protect nature.
· You will ensure that the group’s finances are managed in accordance with policies and submit annual financial returns.
· You will liaise with reserves, local groups and other wildlife organisations.
· You will invite regular feedback from your group leaders, and most importantly the young people to evaluate the success of your meetings and work out what needs to be done to be even better.
· You need to enjoy working with young people – they are the heart of what they do.
· You will be asked to complete a variety of training including induction and safeguarding and data protection.
· The youth groups usually meet monthly, and Main Leaders usually spend six to eight hours per month outside of the meetings on the role depending on how the responsibilities are shared within the team.
