Overview
ESC is a small charity supporting people with endometriosis on the South Coast. We are seeking a detail‑oriented volunteer to help keep our events safe by completing risk assessments, maintaining health and safety (H&S) records, and providing on‑the‑day support at events. No prior H&S expertise is required.
What difference will you make? ESC is running more events than ever before, and the safety of attendees, volunteers, or presenters depends on thorough, well‑prepared H&S documentation. This role ensures risk assessments are complete, documentation is in order, and volunteers are properly briefed, enabling ESC to run events confidently and compliantly.
This position contributes to the wellbeing of people who come to our events seeking community and support, many of whom manage chronic conditions and need to know they are in safe, considered hands.
