This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dedicated team of over 1,400 employees and 28,000 volunteers, all working towards a common goal: saving lives through essential first aid services, training, and campaigning to put lifesaving skills at the heart of every community. As a charity with a long and illustrious history, we are proud of our past and excited about creating a healthier, safer, and more resilient future.

St John Ambulance works at the heart of communities, supporting and enabling them to access and receive physical and mental health first aid. We do this through developing and providing effective community response and outreach services (e.g. Ambulance response, Falls response, Homelessness outreach) and using our longstanding expertise to empower people with vital clinical skills and the confidence to use them (e.g. our Volunteers and Community Advocates, and Young Responders programmes). There is also a buoyant social enterprise network which delivers first aid training and supplies medical consumables to businesses and consumers.

We are in an exciting time of transformation with an opportunity to lead and mature the charity’s data maturity by leading a new data strategy.
