Session Lead

What do session leads do?

A session lead oversees the session and coordinates team members to successfully deliver a safe and engaging session.

Why become a session lead?

As a Session Lead, you’ll be at the heart of each session, creating a welcoming and empowering environment where everyone can enjoy cycling. You’ll manage session registers, and perform risk assessments, ensuring that every session runs smoothly and safely. It’s more than just delivering a session — it’s about giving people the opportunity to build confidence, connect with others, and discover what they’re capable of. If you’re someone who enjoys working with people, values inclusion, and wants to make a positive impact in your community, leading a Wheels for All session is an inspiring and rewarding way to make a difference in people’s lives.

What can I get involved with in this role?

You can get involved with:

• Managing sessions in line with Wheels for All policies and procedures
• Completing session registers on our Kinetic+ delivery app
• Ensuring there are sufficient resources present to run the session (people, equipment, and documentation)
• Ensuring dynamic risk assessments performed
• Preparing and understands the session routes and activities
• Planning, recording and communicating appropriate routes including hazards, risks, and mitigations

What makes a great session lead?

They are calm, confident, and proactive — able to plan ahead, adapt to changing circumstances, and make quick, thoughtful decisions to keep sessions safe and enjoyable. They communicate clearly with participants, carers, and volunteers, fostering a sense of teamwork and trust. Most importantly, a great Session Lead is approachable and encouraging, making every participant feel valued and supported, regardless of ability or experience. Their leadership inspires confidence, promotes inclusion, and ensures that every Wheels for All session runs smoothly, safely, and with plenty of smiles along the way.

Do I require any training for this role?

All Session Leads complete our Wheels for All Training, equipping them with the skills and confidence to safely run and manage sessions while creating a positive, enjoyable experience for participants and carers.
