At St John Ambulance, we are always looking for volunteers who are compassionate, dedicated individuals to join our life-saving team. Whether you’re passionate about helping your community, gaining new skills, or making a difference in emergencies, we have opportunities for you.
As part of St John, you could volunteer in a range of roles that:
- provide vital first aid and healthcare services in your local area
- educate local communities in first aid
- support our operational teams through providing logistics, driving and building maintenance services
- support our youth programmes, creating the next generation of lifesavers
- raise money to fund our community and first aid charitable activities
Join us and take the first step toward making an impact where it’s needed most.
When you join, we equip you with all the skills and knowledge you need to do you role. From manual handling, to basic first aid, to youth leader principles, our courses are designed to cater to all skill levels and ensure that every volunteer is prepared to deliver their role with confidence.
Our training programmes include a range of activities, including self-led learning packages within our online learning platform, as well as instructor-led courses where you’ll train alongside your fellow new volunteers.
We understand that starting something new can be daunting. That’s why we’re committed to supporting you while you get familiar with volunteering.
From your first day, you’ll receive ongoing support from fellow volunteers, as well as your dedicated induction buddy, helping you feel welcome and confident in your role. You’ll have the opportunity to connect with other volunteers, share experiences, and build lasting friendships. Whether you’re attending your first event, leading your first duty or delivering your first youth session, you’ll never be alone — we’re here to ensure you feel at home from day one.
