While we're all about having fun here at LeadAbroad, safety is our top priority. On select, larger programs, we hire Health & Safety Advisors to join our teams abroad.
As an advisor, you will serve as the first responder to any health & safety issues that occur on our programs. This role is all about helping our students and staff on the ground! If you're a graduate student pursuing a degree that focuses on the support of others like student affairs or counseling, or have a budding interest in the medical field, then this is the role for you!
While on the program, LeadAbroad covers international airfare, health insurance, housing, all program related activities and tours, and local sim card. Health & Safety Advisors will also receive a salary and stipend during their summer abroad.
“Being a health and safety advisor was an amazing experience! I had the chance to support students in overcoming both mental and physical health challenges, helping them get the most out of their time abroad," says Sara Smith, a 2024 H&S advisor. "It was not only a great way for me to grow personally and professionally but also an opportunity to explore the world with inspiring people. If you’re looking for a rewarding role that makes a real impact while broadening your own horizons, this is it!” Sara was able to not only gain real-world experience for her future career, but memories and experiences that will last a lifetime.
Health & safety advisors should be:
Passionate about helping others
Eager to travel the world
Excited to work alongside and connect with students and staff
