Throughout Our Year, we will be hosting a number of large and small-scale public events – we need friendly, enthusiastic volunteers to support the Sports Development and Physical Activity Team at the Moving Festival activities and events.

A Walk Leader Support will be required to:

• Help co-ordinate participants in a safe walking activity, risk assessing any potential dangers along designated route prior to and during the walk.
• Ensure that all walkers are walking at a comfortable pace to keep up with the walk.
• Help and assist event attendees where needed, in a calm, polite and friendly manner.
• Know the location of the first aid station and any first aid equipment, and contact designated first-aider in cases of emergency.
• Understand methods or signals used to alert staff that an emergency has arisen.
• Recognise potential hazards or safety concerns, reporting such findings immediately to supervisors.
• Be able and willing to work evenings and weekends, where needed.
