Between 1 April 2025 and 31 March 2026, young people doing their Duke of Edinburgh Awards through Scouts in West Mercia gave an amazing 884 hours of their time to help their communities. That’s the equivalent of £6672 in social value! 💷💪

But volunteering is about so much more than numbers. It’s about discovering new passions, growing in confidence, and learning skills that last a lifetime. Want to know more about DofE with Scouts?

Not your typical 9-5…

We’re looking for a people-person to join the Beaudesert team.

A big part of this role is building relationships, handling enquiries and helping turn interest into bookings. It suits someone proactive, organised and happy picking up the phone.

If you like variety, being busy and working with great people, take a look!
