If you have a passion for supporting and nurturing potential, so do we...

The Boys’ Brigade (BB) is a Christian uniformed youth organisation, providing opportunities for children and young people to learn, grow and discover in a safe, fun, and caring environment.

For over 140 years, we have been providing opportunities for children and young people (4 -18 years old) to learn, grow and discover in a safe, fun, and caring environment and with the challenges that 202 6 can bring, that work is as vital and impactful as ever.

BB Companies (groups) meet in communities across the country, supported by dedicated volunteer leaders giving their time and skills every week.

Our groups are at the heart of the outreach work taking place in C hurches to empower, engage, and transform lives in local communities.

None of this work would be possible without a dedicated team of staff supporting the work of our volunteers and we want you to join our team. Help us to face the challenges, create the opportunities and unleash the potential in others.

We look forward to receiving your application.
