What We're Looking For



Ideally you'll have




- A background in health and safety, preferably within construction, property, engineering or another operational environment.
- Practical experience producing or reviewing risk assessments, policies, inspections or similar documentation.
- Membership of IOSH, IIRSM or another recognised professional body would be advantageous but is not essential.

Remote



What will you be doing?



This is a rewarding volunteer opportunity for someone who enjoys mentoring others, building relationships and seeing projects through from start to finish.



You will act as the primary liaison between our partner charities, volunteer mentors and mentees, ensuring projects are well organised, expectations are clear, and everyone receives the support they need throughout the process.



Rather than completing the health and safety work yourself, your role is to coordinate, guide and oversee the programme, ensuring projects are delivered to a high standard while providing valuable learning opportunities for our mentees.
