In support of Year of Young People 2018 the Health Promotion Department seeks to enrol groups of four Event Coordinators across the Outer Hebrides, aged 16–26, to support the provision of one-off Paths for All ‘Big Fit Walk’ walking events in communities across the islands. There are 16 vacancies – Lewis (x4), Harris (x4), Uists (x4) and Barra (x4).
The Event Coordinator groups will be supported by Health Promotion staff in planning, organising, running and evaluating a Big Fit Walk during the month of June 2018. The walk aims to be engaging, interactive and fun! The events can take place anytime in June. Applicants should be available for 1 hour per week for 4-6 weeks prior to the event for planning and 2 weeks after for evaluating the event.
Applicants should have an interest in organising events, be organised, be able to work as part of a team and have good timekeeping. No prior experience required.
