Youth Leader
As a major youth
organisation, St John Ambulance youth
leaders play a vital part in the personal
development of our youth members.
From our youngest Badger member right through to Cadets and
university LINKS, our leaders provide a wealth of
experience and knowledge to budding
youngsters of the future.
You'll help run one of our youth groups tailored to either our
Badger members (aged five-10) or our Cadet
groups (aged 10-18) and be responsible for broadening the
horizons of each youth member, whilst helping them to realise their
potential.
Innovative
Our youth programmes are structured and involve a wealth of
other opportunities alongside first aid. Our Cadet
members undertake the Grand Prior
Award which sees them take up to 24 short courses over
their time with St John Ambulance to receive this award signed by
HRH the Duke of Gloucester.
Our Badger members are equally as important and
their development is aided by the Super
Badger Award scheme which sees them complete 12 out of 15
sections, including areas such as adventure, caring, creative, eco,
healthy, safety and wild. Once completed, they're awarded a Super
Badger certificate, badge and gift.
Locally
Here in Bishop's Stortford we already have active Cadet and
Badger groups who meet weekly. However, we're looking to
recruit more Youth Leaders to share the workload out and give our
youth members more support at their weekly meetings.
You don't need any training or qualifications as we'll train
you, but you should be prepared to undergo an enhanced criminal
records bureau check with St John Ambulance to help protect our
youth members.

We welcome new volunteers to attend our weekly meetings to find
