Job description
Become a Lifeskills Volunteer Guide – Bring Safety to Life!
Are you passionate about making a real difference in young lives?
As a Volunteer Guide at Lifeskills, you’ll take Year 6 primary school children on an unforgettable, hands-on safety adventure! You’ll lead small groups through immersive, life-like safety scenarios—from crossing a road safely to navigating a kitchen, visiting a shop, or exploring a railway line—encouraging children to spot hazards and think about staying safe in everyday life.
With the help of scripts, props, lighting, and sound effects, you’ll bring each scene to life, spark engaging discussions, and guide children as they practise making 999 emergency calls in a safe, supportive environment. Every session you deliver empowers children with the confidence and skills to make safer choices, helping them grow into independent, healthy, and aware young people.
We provide full, personalised training at your own pace, and you’ll always be supported by a friendly, experienced team. Volunteering sessions last 2 hours, and you can choose the times that suit you—Monday to Friday during term time.
This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to make a lasting impact, meet like-minded people, and develop new skills, all while having fun! You’ll take pride in helping children gain life-saving knowledge they’ll carry for years to come.
What you’ll enjoy as a Lifeskills Volunteer Guide:
-
Personalised training at your own pace
-
Flexible weekday sessions: mornings 9:45am–11:45am, afternoons 12:45pm–2:45pm
-
Reimbursement for travel expenses
-
A warm, friendly, and supportive team environment
-
Invitations to seasonal social events, including our festive Winter Party and fun Summer Party
-
Opportunities to build meaningful connections and gain valuable experience
-
The chance to make a real, lasting impact on children’s lives
Join us and help make safety exciting, interactive, and unforgettable—while having a fantastic time yourself!
