Community Resilience Search Support Volunteer

As a Community Resilience Search Support Volunteer, you will assist with search support activities, community resilience initiatives, public events, safety awareness campaigns, and missing vulnerable person searches under appropriate direction. You may also support community-led missing dog searches and take part in training exercises and team activities.
In return, you'll gain valuable skills in search support, teamwork, communication, community resilience, and Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW). You'll receive ongoing training and support, build confidence, meet like-minded people, and become part of a dedicated volunteer team. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in your local community while gaining practical experience, recognised training opportunities, and the satisfaction of helping others when they need support most.
