Community First Aider (West Midlands)

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, supporting them to become safe and more resilient 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, as well as 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 make sure you will have access to a proper induction to volunteering with SJA and the training you need 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 are 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.

If successful, Interviews will be held on Saturday 18th January 2025. If you are then successful in the interviews you will be invited to an Enrolment Event on the 1st March 2025.

Full training will be provided at other area Training Centres for the role, however training will also be delivered at the Tamworth Training Centre on Meeting Nights.

If you are successful you will need to undertake induction & training for role at these dates:
Welcome Event (Induction): 13/04/2025- 11/05/2025.
 

Training for role - You will need to attend Meeting Training Nights which are held on Thursday Nights at 1930 (7:30pm). There will be opportunities for other training courses to be held within 90 Minuets from the Tamworth Training Centre. Once trained in your role you will be able to attend Events as a St John Community First Aider.
