Job description

Community First Aider (South East- Thames Valley)

Make a difference with St John Ambulance and become a lifesaver in your community. Gain new skills, support others, and be the hero your community needs!

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 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.

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 ensure you have access to a proper induction to volunteering with SJA and the training you need for the role. We will also provide you with 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.

Candidates are expected to attend an in-person selection event on 9th March and training for the role on 3rd and 4th May. If this is not possible, we would still love to hear from you! Please email [e-mail] to discuss alternative options.

We are looking to run a volunteering selection session on: 08/03/2025 - 16/03/2025.

If you are successful, you will need to undertake induction & training for the role at these dates:

Welcome Event (Induction): Induction will take place online w/c 21st April 2025. You will be assigned an existing volunteer as an Induction Buddy to help you begin your volunteering journey.

Training for role: The Community First Aider course is a 2-day course on 3rd and 4th May 2025 in Kidlington. If you have a First Aid at Work certificate, you may be able to complete training on 3rd May only. This can be discussed at the interview or by emailing [e-mail].

Closing date for these opportunities is: 07/03/2025

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: [e-mail].
