Community CPR Advocate

Volunteer role

Community CPR Advocate

Volunteer Manager

Community

One of the Charity aims is to educate people on how to carry out effective CPR and the use of Public Access Defibrillators. No prior teaching experience needed—just a passion for helping others learn this essential skill and help your communities become safer.

You will have an opportunity to attend local community groups, schools and be an important part of Restart a Heart Day. During the talk you will be provided with a PowerPoint presentation which will also highlight the work of South Central Ambulance Charity, the work we do and what their donations will mean.

We will give you annual training to ensure that your teaching and CPR skills meet our standards and you will be supported by other local volunteers including volunteer responders and staff.

Please note that we will be running training from September for this role so there will be a short delay before you can start to support us
