Youth Leader

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

Youth Leaders work directly with young people in St John Ambulance Badger Setts and Cadet Units. By organising a mixed weekly programme, this role will support the learning and development of young people into the next generation of health citizens. Youth Leaders also help young people develop their confidence, teamwork skills, self-discipline, and generally encourage them to strive to be the best they can be, as well as supervise and support other adult volunteers in their team.

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.

Our vibrant Badger Sett meets each Tuesday evening from 6.15 pm to 7.15 pm. We understand that a weekly commitment is sometimes difficult, so many of our units operate a rota system. We are therefore happy to hear from anyone looking for flexibility, too.

This is a youth leader role assisting in our Stoke Holy Cross unit with our badger members.

If successful, you will need to undertake induction and training for the role on these dates:

• Welcome Event (Induction) - 17/08/2025
• Training for role - Youth Leader Fundamentals (1 day, online or in person) and Youth Leader Principles (1 day, in person), available quarterly.

Closing date for applications is: 29/06/2025
