Walk Leader

Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland
VO101228

Everyone has the right to live life to the full. After a diagnosis of a chest or heart condition, stroke, or long covid, many people experience fear and isolation, and struggle with the impact on their lives. The care and support we deliver every day ensures everyone can live the life they want to. Across Scotland, we provide vital advice, information, and support through our No Life Half Lived strategy.

The walking project at CHSS aims to increase access to walking as part of the prevention of chest, heart or stroke conditions. We are looking for volunteer walk leaders to enable walks in their community.

If you're interested, please click the ‘apply’ button below (available when logged in and registered). You will then be contacted by the coordinator by email or phone call. If you have not heard back after 5 working days, the first step is to contact the organisation with the contact details provided. You could also check your junk/spam folder on your emails just in case the response is there. If that doesn’t work out then please feel free to contact Volunteer Glasgow on info@volunteerglasgow.org.

Experience required

You will be required to demonstrate good listening and communication skills, and the ability to volunteer independently, with guidance and support. No experience is necessary as full training is provided.

Travel details
