Adventure is the point — doing it safely is the deal. The Health and Safety Lead helps everyone plan well, spot hazards early and learn when things don’t go to plan.
What you’ll do
- Champion the Scouts Safety Policy and safety checklists across everything we do.
- Help leaders write and review risk assessments for sessions, events and water activities.
- Record incidents and near misses, make sure they’re reported properly, and share the lessons.
- Keep fire drills, first aid cover and kit checks on track, with the Lilac Grove and Barton Island Leads.
- Keep an eye on standards for our water activities alongside the GLV and Water Team Lead.
- Share short, useful safety updates — no jargon, no lectures.
Every adult role includes a friendly welcome conversation, a DBS check and free training — and a team that’s got your back.
