Girlguiding Unit Helper

Who we are:

Girlguiding North West England provides girls with opportunities to explore, have fun and know that they belong. We help all girls know that they can do anything.

Through fun, friendship, challenge, and adventure we empower girls to find their voice, inspiring them to discover the best in themselves and to make a positive difference in their community.

Become an inspiring role model for our members - and help empower girls to be their best. Join the 100,000 amazing volunteers and supporters who make a real difference to nearly half a million girls and young women.

What are we looking for?

Our weekly unit meetings are at the heart of Girlguiding. When you volunteer at them you’ll have fun, get messy, meet new people and run activities that help our members discover their potential.

You can choose to work with girls in Rainbows, Brownies, Guides or Rangers, and you’ll be volunteering directly with them. Unit meetings are usually an hour to an hour and a half once a week, term time. We have units at various locations so we can find a location that best suits you.

What would you be doing as a volunteer?

As a unit helper you’ll give girls opportunities for fun, friendship, challenge and adventure! You’ll usually work with other volunteers to help run fantastic activities, whilst keeping our members safe. 

Unit helpers assist the unit leadership team in running units (groups) of Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. You’ll be part of a leadership team that includes at least one unit leader, assistant leaders and possibly also young leaders and other unit helpers. No two units are the same which means that all unit helpers do slightly different things. There is a lot of space to make this role your own.
