Our learners journey is at the heart of everything that we do, so we will make sure that you are ready to provide the best training experience for everyone. 

Opportunity to Teach a Variety of Courses: You won’t just be limited to standard first aid courses. As you progress, you’ll have the chance to deliver training in other key areas, including mental health first aid, community response programmes, and other essential lifesaving skills. 

Support for Continuous Learning: We support and encourage continuous professional development (CPD). You'll have access to a wide range of opportunities to expand your knowledge and skills, allowing you to grow within the organisation and broaden your expertise. 

About You 

While we would prefer candidates with previous experience in training, teaching, or instruction, full training will be provided for the right candidate. It is important that you are the right type of person with the right characteristics, mind-set and attitude, to become a St John Ambulance Trainer. 

If you’re passionate about making a difference and keen to share your skills with others, this role could be perfect for you. We’re looking for enthusiastic, approachable individuals with excellent communication and presentation skills, who are comfortable in front of an audience and who are motivated to deliver high-quality training to a wide range of learners. You will have examples from your background of your creativity, adaptability and willingness to look for ways to continually improve. 

Please note that hybrid work is not available for trainers, as the role is largely in-person. While some courses may be delivered online, this is dependent on bookings, and trainers are generally expected to be on-site for the majority of their work. It is important that you have strong organisational and time management skills, and can be relied upon to be punctual at all times.

Volunteering Matters  

Who we are

At Volunteering Matters, we believe people have the power to create change. Whether through volunteering by helping others and giving time, or through social action such as speaking up, campaigning, or leading change, everyone can make a difference. We bring people together to build stronger communities across England, Scotland and Wales, making sure everyone has the chance to get involved and create real change.

Creating stronger communities through the power of volunteering

Volunteering Matters is a nationwide charity that exists to create stronger communities through the power of volunteering. We work with local partners to develop impactful programmes that support individuals and communities across the UK.

Since 1962, we’ve used our influence to champion volunteering as a powerful tool to build a thriving, resilient society. Our projects are co-created with the people and communities we work alongside: an approach that encourages our participants to become future volunteers and leaders, not just beneficiaries.

We understand the pressures of day-to-day life and create flexible, inclusive opportunities for people at all stages of life. And beyond delivering projects on the ground, we use our voice to shape policy and practice – ensuring volunteering stays recognised, supported and sustainable for generations to come.

What we do
We help people of all ages and backgrounds get involved in volunteering and social action. We focus on making sure that everyone, no matter their situation, has the chance to take part. We work with local people.

How we do this

We support people to share their time and skills to help others and tackle big challenges in their communities.

· We remove barriers to volunteering and social action, making it easier for people who don’t always get the chance to take part.

· We listen to and amplify voices that aren’t always heard, helping volunteers and communities influence change.

· We help volunteers beyond their first experience, offering training, support, and pathways to new opportunities.

· We connect businesses with communities, creating meaningful employee volunteering projects.

· We show the impact of volunteering and social action, proving how it changes lives for the better.

Role Purpose
We are looking to recruit a talented, dynamic and professional Engagement Manager to join our team. In this role, you will lead all aspects of the Flintshire Befrienders project. 
Flintshire Befrienders is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund and supports older people experiencing social isolation and loneliness.  Our team of Volunteer Befrienders provide companionship, help to build confidence, and encourage engagement in the local community.  The project consists of:

· One-to-one befriending in a person’s home, or over the telephone

· Community buddying – support to attend local community groups and events

· Volunteer-led events – activities that older people can engage in, based on their interests

The right candidate would be someone with experience of supporting and managing volunteers, working with older people facing isolation and loneliness, as well as someone who can work flexibly and demonstrate a commitment to our organisational values.
