Volunteer Community First Aider & Public First Aid Educator

Overview

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.

• Deliver first aid to individuals at local events as a Community First Aider.
• Provide public education on first aid to increase awareness and skills in the community.
• Support the growth of community partnerships, recruitment, and fundraising efforts.
• Help deliver first aid sessions to the general public.

You will complete all relevant online training courses and pass the St John Community First Aider course. You will have access to a proper induction to volunteering with SJA and a supportive environment while you volunteer. Information about volunteer roles is included in the role descriptions and in the volunteer charter.

• Attend Tuesday evening meetings, as often as you can, and keep up with your training.
• Complete required online training courses and maintain ongoing learning.

Closing date for these opportunities is: 22/12/2026.
