COUNTY TRAINING MANAGER
The role of the County Training Manager is to manage all aspects of the training process for adults within the County and to recommend the award of wood badges. The role is that of a manager/facilitator rather than a trainer/presenter, although if the CTM wishes to present training as well, that’s fine.
Main aspects
- Work with CC (or DCC (Adult Support)) to determine, review and maintain the appropriate structure for management and support of training opportunities.
- Act as line manager for those involved in the management, delivery and administration of training.
- Liaise with District (Through LTMs) and County Appointments Advisory Committees to ensure that people are assigned a Training Adviser.
- Plan and ensure the delivery of the training provision so that all adults in Scouting have access to suitable training opportunities.
- Ensure that people involved in training are suitably qualified and effective.
- Ensure that administration of training is completed efficiently and effectively.
- Ensure that the recommendation of Wood Badges is carried out.
- Implement The Scout Association’s Training Policy and procedures.
Suitable people will be
- Familiar with the Scout Association’s Training Scheme
- Friendly and sympathetic to the needs of volunteers
- Good at interpersonal skills
- Well organized, good communicators, quick responders.
Note
One possible model is to separate the running of training courses from the management of LTMs and TAs. The CTM would be at liberty to implement such a model.
