Community

One of the charity’s aims is to educate people on how to carry out effective CPR and use Public Access Defibrillators. As a Community CPR Advocate, you’ll empower others with the ability to perform CPR in emergencies, potentially saving lives. No prior teaching experience is needed—just a passion for helping others learn this essential skill and for making your community safer.

• Discuss with groups how to recognise and react to a cardiac arrest.
• Demonstrate how to perform effective CPR.
• Show people how to use and access public defibrillators.
• Represent SCAS and the charity in the local community.
• Use a supplied PowerPoint presentation.

• Good verbal communication skills.
• Happy and confident (after training) in delivering teaching sessions to large groups.
• Confident to work independently or within a small team.
• Physically fit to carry out CPR on a manikin on the floor.
• Confident with IT and Microsoft Office programmes.

• Helping to provide people with essential life skills.
• Supporting your local community in essential education.
• High‑quality training.
• A charity‑branded T‑shirt.
• Out of pocket expenses in line with our policy.

We will ask you to attend a CPR and defibrillator awareness refresher annually. We are looking for volunteers who can support us regularly throughout the year by attending a range of community‑based CPR awareness sessions. Please note this is not a first‑aid qualification.

Training will begin in September; there may be a short delay before you can start supporting us.
