About us

Chichester is an active unit of St John Ambulance, on the south coast of England. We have a team of over 20 adult volunteers including first aiders, ambulance crews and nurses who provide support throughout the city and across the South Downs community.

Before joining St John Ambulance, I lacked the confidence to try anything new. 10 years down the line, I help to provide first aid with a great group of friends.

St John Ambulance in Chichester has been providing first aid, care and ambulance support at local events for years.

Our division is supported by a team of registered healthcare professionals, offering advice and further training to the members.

Join us!

If you are over 16 years old then we need you!

Volunteer with us and gain some new skills in not only first aid, but also in personal development, youth work and communications. We welcome members from all backgrounds, offering lifesaving training and a network of friends.

On a training night you could learn about:

  • sprains and strains
  • sporting injuries
  • emergency situations
  • health and safety.

We also have casualty simulations so you can see how you would respond to a real-life situation in the safety of a training environment.

Within the unit, you are able to take on a choice of roles, not all necessarily needing a uniform. These roles include:

  • First aider
  • Advanced first aider
  • Patient transport attendant
  • Emergency transport attendant
  • Support member (Admin, Radios, Maintenance)

We also welcome Healthcare Professionals from any environment.
