Overview
Join to apply for the Event Services Lead role at Berkshire Lowland Search & Rescue Team (BLSAR).
We are a volunteer-run emergency response team that helps find high-risk missing people. We also attend public events to raise awareness and support our fundraising — and we need someone to help coordinate those efforts.
What difference will you make?
We’re proud of what we do — and sharing our story helps us gain support, raise funds and find new recruits. This role supports those efforts by coordinating a team of volunteers who represent BLSAR at events like shows, school visits and open days.
Responsibilities
* Managing a small team of Event Managers and supporting them with their events
* Helping keep track of our calendar and who’s covering which event
* Making sure our kit, signage and displays are ready and available
* Supporting new Event Managers as they learn the ropes
* Representing BLSAR at larger or higher-profile events
* Checking event plans meet basic safety and quality standards
* Helping build relationships with event organisers or sponsors
You don’t need to be at every event yourself — this is about leading a team and making sure everything runs smoothly.
Qualifications
* At least three years of experience in either events or volunteer management
* Friendly and approachable, especially in busy event settings
* Comfortable coordinating volunteers and sharing responsibility
* Organised and happy managing calendars and checklists
* Basic understanding of safety and risk management
* Familiar with email and basic office tools (we use Microsoft 365)
