Help create safer Scouting experiences for young people and volunteers across Western Australia. This role supports leaders, event organisers, and teams to identify and manage risks, ensuring activities, events, and operations can be delivered safely and confidently.

Working with volunteers from across Scouts WA, you will provide practical advice, support risk assessments, and help develop tools and resources that make risk management easier to understand and apply. You will also assist leaders to build confidence in planning safe and successful activities.

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping create a positive, risk-aware culture that supports adventure while keeping young people, volunteers, and communities safe.

Effective risk management helps volunteers deliver exciting and rewarding Scouting experiences safely. This role supports better planning, stronger decision-making, and continuous improvement, helping protect young people and volunteers while enabling quality programs and activities across Scouts WA.

Key Focus Areas: 

• Provide advice and guidance to leaders, event organisers, and volunteers on practical risk management approaches.
• Support the preparation and review of risk assessments for activities, events, facilities, and operations.
• Develop and maintain risk management resources, templates, tools, and guidance materials.
• Deliver training, workshops, and educational resources that build confidence in risk assessment and planning.
• Assist with incident reviews, organisational learning, and continuous improvement of risk management practices across Scouts WA.

We Encourage You to Apply

We encourage you to apply, even if you don’t think you tick every box. Research consistently shows that people often rule themselves out of opportunities because they don’t meet every listed criterion. Scouts WA is looking for enthusiastic, capable people who are willing to learn, contribute and grow. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you. 

You will not be expected to know everything from day one. You will receive guidance, support, and opportunities to build your skills and grow in the role. 

We are looking for people with the right attitude and strong organisational skills. Professional experience is welcome, but practical skills developed through work, volunteering or personal projects are also valuable.
