Do I need previous experience of volunteering with St John Ambulance?

No, for many of our leadership roles, we welcome applications from inside and outside of St John Ambulance. We just ask that you come with a willingness to learn, are passionate about our work, and have the ability to inspire and lead others.

If you’re unsure about a leadership role, then there are still lots of other ways you can get involved. Why not try volunteering with young people or become a Community First Aider?
