SUPERTROOP IS CURRENTLY RECRUITING!
As we expand our provision and continue to evolve we’re always looking for new people to join us. There are roles available on the holiday itself and supporting the charity all year round.

If you want to get involved with an exciting mission, working in a team of committed, energetic and skilful people then this could be perfect for you.
While we are not currently recruiting for trustees, you can you can become a member of the charity, if you are interested in a potential future trustee role.

Trustees
Officers of the charity help to run the organisation year-round, but don’t normally attend the holiday itself. We have officers who are in charge of managing our donor relationships, our social media channels, and our grant-funding bids. We are currently looking for more officers to join our finance and fundraising team. You don’t need to be an expert but if you’re organised and committed, please contact info@supertroop.org to find out more.
FINANCE OFFICER. Have you got a good head for numbers and some experience managing budgets? Do you love a well-organised spreadsheet? We’re looking for someone to help us reconcile our monthly accounts and make projections to drive our fundraising goals. You can work flexibly in your own time with support from a warm and informed team. Send us an email with a note of your experience and any questions you have, to info@supertroop.org
FUNDRAISING SUPPORTER. Are you interested in writing grants or reaching donors? Do you enjoy working in a team with a clear goal? If so you might be interested in joining the team for our first ever SuperTroop September fundraising campaign, to help us pay for our growth goals! Send us an email with a note of your experience and any questions you have, to info@supertroop.org

CURRENT VACANCIES
Volunteer roles on the holiday
Volunteering on the holiday is a challenging, exhausting but ultimately incredibly fun and fulfilling experience. We can guarantee you will make friends for life, while giving an extraordinary opportunity to a group of young people who have few chances to try new things or gain some independence. The holiday will give you valuable skills (teamwork, leadership, communication) and specific training (Makaton signing, first aid, crisis response) as well as getting you PVG registered.
HELPERS
We are not currently recruiting one-to-one helpers.
GROUP LEADERS
Group leaders run a small team of four or five one-to-one volunteers. It’s a perfect role for a student. We’re not currently looking to recruit new group leaders, but you can register your interest by emailing sue@supertroop.org.
Senior helpers
Senior Helpers provide expert back up and organisational support to the holiday as a whole. They usually have relevant professional expertise or previous experience. They co-ordinate and lead activities, provide guidance, and step in when a problem arises. We are not currently recruiting new senior helpers, but you can register your interest by emailing sue@supertroop.org.
Doing the holiday itself isn't possible for everyone though - below you can find out other ways to lend a hand, or you can make a donation.
be an officer
As well as volunteers on the holiday week, our organisation relies on volunteer power year-round. If looking after kids isn’t your thing, or you can’t commit to those dates, then we have lots of other opportunities for you - like updating this website or helping with fundraising.
Donate an activity
During the holidays we need lots of fun stuff to enjoy. If you can donate by playing a gig for us, running a football workshop or creating an on-site nail spa, get in touch! You can also donate via our Patchwork page which has loads of creative and exciting ways to fund activities.
sponsor a holiday-maker
Our holiday is only affordable thanks to the massive donation of time made by our volunteers, and the in-kind support (worth £1000s) from our host, Fettes College. Still, we do have to pay for buses, admissions tickets, toys, games, personal care items and so on. If you can cover some of this cost for a deserving holiday-maker please donate now!
