Meet Lauren

First Aid & Health and Safety Trainer

Based in Edinburgh, With a strong background in both leisure and outdoor environments, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to my role as a First Aid and Health and Safety Trainer. My career began in the fitness industry, where I worked as a Leisure Attendant, Fitness Instructor, Swimming Teacher, and Leisure Centre Manager. These roles gave me a deep understanding of the importance of safety in active environments, while also building my skills in risk management, emergency response, and ensuring the well-being of individuals across all ages and fitness levels.

As a Leisure Centre Manager, I further developed my expertise in health and safety protocols, overseeing staff training, ensuring compliance with safety regulations, and managing the day-to-day safety of the facility. This role required me to respond quickly and effectively to incidents and accidents, ensuring that everyone in the centre remained safe and well-cared for.

In addition to my career in leisure and fitness, I have an outdoor background, where I gained practical experience in managing safety in an agricultural setting and working with equipment and machinery. This experience has instilled in me a strong appreciation for the outdoors and an understanding of the unique safety challenges in rural environments.

With my diverse experience, I am passionate about educating others on how to prevent accidents, respond effectively in emergencies, and create safer environments, whether in the workplace, the gym, or the great outdoors.

If you help just one person after learning vital knowledge while attending my course, I have won in life.
