St John Ambulance

You did not enter a postcode in the search, or the postcode for this role is unknown.

Are you someone who cares deeply about your community? Do you agree that by sharing first aid skills and advice we can create a safer and more resilient community? If so, then becoming a Community First Aider might be the role for you!

We need people who have a passion for helping others, care about their communities and want to make a difference, supporting them to become safe and more resilient by sharing your first aid skills and knowledge. As a Community First Aider, you’ll deliver first aid to those in need through local events, as well as provide education to the public so that the ripple effect of First Aid grows.

Through supporting the growth of community partnerships, you will bring people along to our cause, growing our membership and fundraising base and spreading the message that First Aid Saves Lives.

Through volunteering as a Community First Aider, you’ll get a huge sense of satisfaction and pride delivering an essential service. It’s great for you, great for your community and great for our nation, and it requires only a small commitment of your time.

We will make sure you will have access to a proper induction to volunteering with SJA and the training you need for the role you take on. We will also provide you with a supportive environment while you are volunteering with us. Information about our volunteer roles are included in the role descriptions. What you can expect from SJA, and what we expect from those who volunteer with us, is included in the volunteer charter.

No previous experience is needed! We will provide you with all the training for the role and other courses are available for your own personal growth! We have weekly meetings in Rugby, Nuneaton and Bedworth - whichever is more convenient for you!

Dates and times and locations (Nuneaton or Rugby) for interviews will be communicated to the successful candidates.

Successful candidates will be invited to attend our unit meeting nights and an introduction to SJA and the network will be given. Support will be given to get new volunteers set up quickly and straight onto the training course.

If you’d like to know more about volunteering or would just like to chat to someone who does, get in touch. Please contact Robert Bowers - Community Engagement Lead via email - robert.bowers@sja.org.uk
