Community First Aider; Oxfordshire

Volunteering with St John Ambulance strengthens communities. From youth support and education to wellbeing, events, and fundraising; your time makes a real impact.

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.

In-person interviews in Kidlington or Oxford will be arranged in the second half of November and in-person training for the role will take place on 24th and 25th January. If this is not possible, please email  to discuss alternative options.

Induction will take place in person in the second half of November. You will be assigned an existing volunteer as an Induction Buddy to help you begin your volunteering journey.

Closing date for these opportunities is: 07/11/2025. If you’d like to know more about volunteering or would just like to chat to someone who does, get in touch. Please contact our hiring manager, Jamie Wilmore, via email:
