We’re currently looking for a District Lead Volunteer. This is a management role, and we need someone who can provide leadership, motivation, and guidance to our adult volunteers.
A large part of this role involves managing and supporting Group Lead Volunteers, who manage local Groups. A key source of support for the District Lead Volunteer is their line manager, who is the County Lead Volunteer. You don’t need any prior experience of Scouting to apply for this role, we’ll make sure you’re fully trained and supported.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

The most successful District Lead Volunteers recognise the importance of valuing the hard work of volunteers, seeks to ensure that they feel happy and supported, week after week, and that they are regularly thanked for what they do.
The District Lead Volunteer provides direction for the District and will help others see the bigger Scouting picture through their leadership.
