Following a decision by the WAGGGS World Board in January 2023, Our Cabaña will now reopen.

They will represent Our Cabaña internally and externally and lead, motivate and manage a diverse and dynamic team, ensuring that staff feel empowered, and that innovation is strongly encouraged within the team. They need to be able to develop, implement and provide detailed reporting on strong operational objectives, plans and budgets that ensure Our Cabaña delivers on the strategic vision and mission of the World Centres and WAGGGS.

They need to oversee efficient and effective execution of day-to-day operations, making sure all daily decisions are made with the World Centre vision in mind. They need to ensure high customer satisfaction, and improved revenue for the centre. They need to ensure that the centre is delivering strong, innovative programmes for Girl Guides and Girl Scouts from around the world that are transformational, enabling them to connect, learn and build agency, becoming powerful changemakers, who are confident to lead and empowered to create a better world together.
