Youth Helper

Do you want to help the youth of today become the lifesavers of tomorrow? We’re on a mission to teach young people across the country how to save lives. It’s a chance for them to learn important first aid skills in a fun, friendly, and safe environment.

St John is one of the largest youth organisations in the country and many of our young volunteers go onto careers in health and/or social care.

Being a youth volunteer helps young people develop skills and confidence that go on to help them with further education and university applications. To do this we need dedicated and enthusiastic youth helpers. Do you have 2 hours in an evening, once a week during school term times to join our fun loving youth team supporting and developing our young inspirational volunteers?

No matter what your interests:
Crafting, Singing/Dancing, History, Science or caring for people/animals, we welcome you to join us.

Full training is provided. This is a great opportunity to develop your own skills, knowledge and build on your CV. All whilst having fun, making friends and supporting your community.

• learning first aid
• volunteering at local and national events
• engaging in social action and helping their local community
• learning about health and wellbeing
• developing confidence and communication skills through Cadet leadership training
• enjoying a wide range of outdoor and adventurous activities
