Job description

Community First Aider (Warwickshire & Coventry)

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 supporting them to become safe and more resilient through 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 gain 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, requiring only a small commitment of your time.

We will ensure you have access to a proper induction to volunteering with SJA and the training needed for the role you take on. 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.

We will be running a number of information events locally from 28 April 2025 to 18 May 2025.

The closing date for these opportunities is 15 March 2025.

If you are successful, you will need to undertake induction & training for the role on these dates:
Welcome Event (Induction) - 16 March 2025.

Candidates from Rugby will be interviewed at our unit in Rugby, and candidates from Nuneaton and Bedworth will be interviewed at our unit in Nuneaton. Exact dates and times will be communicated to the successful candidates.
