Community Advocate
Raise awareness of the importance of first aid in your local
community
Are you passionate about your local community
and love meeting new people? Then we'd love you to join our team of
Community Advocates.
The role
As a St John Ambulance Community Advocate,
your task will be to raise awareness of the importance of first
aid, within your local area.
You’ll be handing out information to the
public and delivering first aid workshops at community centres,
local events and groups.
You’ll also support and mentor local Community
Champions, helping them get the most out of their involvement with
St John Ambulance.
Training and time commitment
We’ll give you all the training and support
you need to help inspire others into acquiring first aid skills. No
previous experience in first aid is required.
As this is a flexible volunteering role, you
can give as much time as suits your lifestyle.
You’ll make a genuine difference to your
community while having a real say in the type of action you take to
achieve this. You’ll learn vital skills, ready for when you need it
most.
'I volunteer to give back to the community and to empower the
community with the confidence to perform life saving skills.'
- Yasmin, Community Advocate
Learning first aid skills could be the most valuable thing you
ever do. This is a fantastic opportunity to share your skills and
help more people save lives.
If you’d like to know more about volunteering, or would just
like to chat to someone who does, please get in touch.
