Network Operational Support Lead (North Buckinghamshire)

At St John Ambulance we are looking to embed ourselves within our communities, delivering support which is tailored to the needs of those communities whilst providing a positive experience for our Volunteers.

We need leaders who are passionate about making a difference in their communities, who care about helping and developing others, who will lead and inspire a volunteer movement across a geographical area to deliver Community First Aid, Community Education and Community Fundraising as well as develop our offering for young people. Through leading a team of Volunteer leaders, you will drive excellence in delivery, develop an inclusive and diverse volunteering experience for new and current volunteers, and help navigate through change to build a bigger and better St John Ambulance.

As a member of our network leadership team, you’ll get a huge sense of satisfaction and pride through supporting a team and our volunteers to deliver our essential services. It’s great for you, great for your community and great for our nation.

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.

Volunteers would be expected to attend training for the role both online and in person, to attend regularly network weekly meetings to enable them to keep their skills up to date.

Could this be your next volunteering challenge? We are seeking a volunteer with the skills, experience, and commitment required for this role. Whether you're an existing St John Ambulance volunteer seeking a new leadership opportunity, a former volunteer considering a return, or someone looking to become involved for the first time, we'd be delighted to hear from you. We are looking for someone who can bring enthusiasm, commitment, and a passion for supporting and inspiring others. If that sounds like you, please take the time to review the role description carefully. It outlines the responsibilities, key skills, and expectations of the role, including the requirement to complete the mandatory training programme, which consists of both online and face-to-face learning sessions. Alongside attending Network Meeting evenings, the successful applicant will undertake associated administrative duties and participate in monthly Network Leadership Meetings. These meetings are usually held in person, with attendance via Microsoft Teams available where necessary. If you are ready to play a key role in supporting volunteers and making a difference within your community, we encourage you to apply. You may have more to offer than you realise.

If you are successful you will need to undertake relevant training for the role, details of which will be discussed after you have been appointed.
