Thank you for thinking about helping with maintenance at the 1st Hoveton and Wroxham

Here is the information about this role in Scouting.

What needs maintenance?

At the 1st Hoveton and Wroxham, we own our own HQ building. We also own all sorts of equipment for Scouting activities. Things like boats, tents, games equipment and much more.

There is a lot of wear and tear at Scout meetings and everything is liable to need maintenance and cleaning at some point.

Some things need regular maintenance and cleaning to make sure they are safe or looking smart. Other things get broken and need attention from time to time

The HQ building needs regular inspection and cleaning and the grass has to be cut and the weeds kept down in the warmer months.

What  Skills do I need?

You need typical Scouting skills to be honest. Flexibility is probably the most important thing. You need to recognise that things need fixing or cleaning and then get the job done. Sometimes, you will be able to do this yourself, in other cases you need to find an appropriate person or company to sort out the problem. Self confidence and a can do attitude are what you need. If you don't have these skills yet, you will certainly have then after a few months in this job role.

What about training?

You don't need specific Scout training for this job, but if you do need training for a specific task, we can arrange it.

Do I need a DBS check?

No, but if you want to join in with the wider Scouting activities that we do then it is a good idea to get one. We will arrange this for you.

Do you have what it takes and can you help?

Why not join us and make a real contribution to your local community, to local young people and to the future.

Not only this, you will gain new friends, new skills and something very special for your CV.
