First aid volunteers

First aid volunteer at Stamford festival

All our first aiders and ambulance crews are volunteers who give their time willing to help support the local area. Could you join their ranks?

Training

Our members meet each Monday evening for training sessions to help develop new skills, or to refine existing ones. All our training is delivered by a mixture of experienced lay members or health care professionals.

Volunteer at Stamford FestivalSt John Ambulance offers a range of courses to suit the needs and ambitions of our members, these include:

  • Activity first aid
  • Moving and handling casualties
  • Medical gas administration
  • Emergency Transport Attendants course

Teamwork

A vital part of volunteering with St John Ambulance is teamwork. To help encourage this our training sessions regularly involve realistic mock incidents where our members have to work together. 

We also have a number of social events throughout the year so we can get to know each other better.

Commitment

We recognise that different people have different circumstances, so all we ask is that you give a few hours each month to attend training sessions and provide services within the community.

Stamford division believes in zero-cost volunteering, with uniform provided for our members and mileage expenses offered.
