Emergency Responder (Keele & Stoke Network)

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. Through volunteering as an Emergency Responder, you’ll get a huge sense of satisfaction and pride delivering essential first aid and lifesaving clinical care at community and major events in your areas, including at sporting events, concerts, community festivals.

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.

Are you a current Keele student looking to make a difference during your time at university? 

The Keele University Group is part of the Stoke and Keele Network, offering you the best of both worlds: student-led sessions on campus and access to a wide range of training and public event medical cover across the wider area. 

There will be a six-day Emergency Responder Course and associated e-learning to be completed for the role. 

There is a minimum requirement of 100 hours of volunteering per year. 

Keele students meet on Monday evenings (7 pm) during term time on the Keele Campus (Dorothy Hodgkin Building). You’re also welcome to join Wednesday sessions at our partner hub located in Stoke, or the Tuesday sessions run by our neighbouring network at either Hanley or Cheadle. 

You must be able to complete a minimum of 100 clinical volunteering hours each year at events to keep your skills up to date. 

This vacancy is also open to prospective volunteers looking to join the North Staffordshire Network. We have meetings on Tuesday evening from 7:30 pm at the following locations: 

Hanley meetings -> St John Ambulance, Sheaf Street, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, ST1 4LW 

Cheadle meetings -> Thorley Drive Pitches, Cheadle, Stoke-on-Trent, ST10 1SA 

We also have meetings on a Wednesday Evening from 8 pm at: Stoke-on-Trent meetings -> West End Community Centre, 405 London Road, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 5AW
