Community First Aider

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, and 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.

Volunteering as a Community First Aider provides 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 provide a proper induction and the training you need for the role you take on, and a supportive environment while you are volunteering with us. Information about our volunteer roles is 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.

Meetings will take place at the Dunk Memorial Hall, Maidstone on Tuesdays 19:30 - 21:00.

Induction & training dates for the role:

• Welcome Event (Induction) – 26/09/2026, time and location to be advised
• Training for role – date, time and location to be advised

Closing date for these opportunities is 30/06/2026.
