Support work
Perhaps you're not interested in hands on
first aid, or maybe you don't want to wear a
uniform but still want to volunteer with
us? Well we're always looking for people just like
you to join our team!
Hospital library
During WWII our volunteers provided a
hospital library service, but did you know that we
still do this now?
Every week a small but dedicated group of volunteers give
up a couple of hours to visit the three hospitals in Leicester,
providing hundered's of patients with books to read and a
friendly face. If you have some books you'd like to
donate, or if you'd like to donate your
time, maybe only an hour a month we'd love to hear from you
Radio communication
At our larger events we provide a dedicated radio control and
communications centre. We are always looking for people who are
able to keep a level head when things get busy,
can co-ordinate resources, and liaise
effectively with other agencies. Full training is
provided.
Fundraising
As a charity St John Ambulance has to effectively make it's own
money. Some of our income is from event organisers for the
provision of our services at events; however this only goes so far
in training and equipping our members with what
they need to help others in need. If you have a
flair for fundraising and would be interested in
helping us then why not join our team?
Training
We believe that everyone should recieve
first aid from those around them, no one should
suffer from a lack of trained first aiders. We are always
pleased to hear from people who want to help us train people in
first aid and emergency aid, teaching others how to save a
life.
Logistics
A very valuable role, and something that requires a certain
skill at being organised and proactive. If you
think you could help us with moving vehicles, equipment and helping
us to set up at some major events including the
British MotoGP and Leicester Marathon then
contact us and we'll be more than happy to
hear from you.
