At St John Ambulance, we are looking to develop our volunteering offer and become an even more integral part of our communities through delivering community first aid and education. 

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.

If you are successful you will need to undertake induction & training for role at these dates:
Welcome Event (Induction) - This will be held during February 2025 at the St John building in Newark, 2 Telford Drive, Newark NG24 2DX
Training for role - Community First Aid training courses are arranged for the weekends of 8th and 9th, 29 and 30th March

You will be required to attend monthly network meetings at either the St John buildings in Newark, Bilsthorpe or Worksop, regular first aid continuing development training will be held at these locations. Successful candidates will be able to provide first aid cover at small community events, larger events such as the Retford and Worksop Half Marathons and other sporting events. There is also an opportunity to assist at other Lincs/Notts events such as the Lincolnshire Agricultural Show and football and Notts County and Mansfield Town.

Closing date for these opportunities is: 28/12/2024
