Girlguiding is the leading charity for girls and young women in the UK. Thanks to the dedication and
support of 100,000 amazing volunteers, we are active in every part of the UK, giving girls and young
women a space where they can be themselves, have fun, build brilliant friendships, gain valuable life
skills and make a positive difference to their lives and their communities.
Our incredible volunteers contribute more than ten million hours to guiding every year. Some give
us a couple of hours here and there – helping out with driving for trips and holidays, fundraising and
events planning, or even doing the annual accounts for local groups. Others give their time as Leaders
or Assistant Leaders for units, providing girls and young women with a space where they can be
themselves. Whatever your skills and interests, and no matter how much time you have to spare,
one of our volunteering roles is bound to suit you.
‘As well as giving the girls amazing opportunities, I feel I’ve also
personally beneted from volunteering. It’s really rewarding for me
and I feel I’ve achieved something great.’

Country/Region International Adviser
1
INTERNATIONAL ADVISER
Level: Country/Region
Who can do this role?
International Advisers can be any adult over 18 years old. They should already be, or be willing to
become, a member of Girlguiding.
Do I need a qualication?
As Country/Region International Adviser, you should hold the Travelling Abroad module of the Girlguiding
Going Away with Scheme and therefore have experience of taking girls and young women abroad.
What is the purpose of this role?
An Adviser is a specialist in a particular eld of the guiding programme. An Adviser will advise, motivate
and communicate information about the specialism to the Division, County or Country/Region Team and
other guiding members, giving more girls and volunteers ways to access opportunities for development,
challenge and adventure.
Advisers are often responsible for helping to create opportunities for events and take an active part in
the wider team. As an Adviser, you will attend meetings and have regular contact with other Advisers,
teams at other levels and Leaders.
Country/Region International Advisers play a key role in leading and promoting activities in their
Country/Region which open the eyes of members to our unique worldwide organisation. Working
with other International Advisers at different levels, they encourage Leaders to offer international
opportunities to young members and provide support. The consultation on Girlguiding’s strategy
for 2015–2020 revealed that members of all ages would like to travel abroad with guiding, and
International Advisers are essential in making that offer possible.
What will I do in the role?
The list below outlines the general responsibilities of an Adviser, but you will be working within a
wider team and responsibilities may vary with the different Adviser specialisms. The Country/Region
International Adviser will usually head a team of County International Advisers and encourage them to
share some parts of the role as appropriate.
General
zz Provide ongoing support to the Country/Region, County or Division by giving advice and answering
specic queries, often by email.
zz Demonstrate a working knowledge of and enthusiasm for your specialism.
zz Become an expert in your specialism, use your knowledge to solve problems and promote the
advantages of your area of the guiding programme.
zz Support Leaders to provide a safe girl-only space where girls and young women can discover their
full potential through all areas of the programme.
zz Attend level-specic meetings, conference calls and events as appropriate.
zz Administer any applicable training or qualications in your area of responsibility.
zz Keep up to date with new resources and programme initiatives, and use and cascade information
as appropriate, communicating to all relevant stakeholders.
zz Take an active role in relevant committees within the Country/Region as required.
zz Set a budget for international activities organised at Country/Region level and manage this.
(Note: in some Countries/Regions this may be the responsibility of a staff member.)
zz Set a calendar of international activities for the Country/Region.
zz Source suitable projects and/or trips for Country/Region opportunities.
zz Offer a range of international guiding residential experiences that broaden the horizons of members
and offer an appropriate level of challenge.
zz Encourage Leaders to offer inclusive and accessible activities, working within the guiding
programme, which open the eyes of members of all sections to World Guiding.
