Program Specialist

Great Smoky Mountain Council, BSA

Knoxville, TN 37909

$13.00 – $15.00 per hour

Part-time

 

The Great Smoky Mountain Council is committed to providing life changing programs to all eligible and interested young people despite their background or socio-economic situation. We believe that all youth deserve the chance to be a Scout. To accomplish our mission, we have had to look at our program model and determined that traditional Scouting programs in the evening simply was not the best option in all areas. Through multiple partnerships in the community, we have been able to develop programs to reach an underserved market through after school, community center, and on-site Scouting.

Due to the schedule of these programs, generally during normal working hours, we created the program specialist position to assist/lead these units. Parents and guardians simply are not available at these times and this method gives those youth the best chance to participate in Scouting. The program specialists are paid, part-time positions and we are in the process of filling 3 openings.

Requirements:

Age must be 21 or over (BSA Adult registration requires 21 for most positions) Reliable transportation required Work hours are generally between 3pm and 8pm and variety of days. Pay is hourly up to 25 hours per week. Generally, the candidate will work 10-15 hours per week depending on the number of sites assigned Scouting experience preferred, but not required. Knowledge/Fluency in a foreign language (including sign language) is a benefit, but not required BSA uniform provided (Guidelines to be discussed with District Director) Adult application and Criminal Background check required prior to start of employment. Youth Protection Training, and Position Specific Training (All online, required) NOTE: Scouts are NEVER to be transported in personal vehicles NOTE: mileage reimbursement is not provided but some travel time can be factored in as part of assigned work hours
