At St John Ambulance we are looking to embed ourselves within our communities, delivering support which is tailored to the needs of those communities whilst providing a positive experience for our volunteers.
We need leaders who are passionate about making a difference in their communities, who care about helping and developing others, and who will lead and inspire a volunteer movement across a geographical area to deliver Community First Aid, Community Education and Community Fundraising. Through leading a team of volunteer leaders, you will drive excellence in delivery, develop an inclusive and diverse volunteering experience for new and current volunteers, and help navigate through change to build a bigger and better St John Ambulance.
As a member of our network leadership team, you’ll gain a huge sense of satisfaction and pride through supporting a team and our volunteers to deliver our essential services. It is great for you, great for your community, and great for our nation.
We will provide a proper induction to volunteering with SJA and the training you need for the role you take on. Information about our volunteer roles is included in the role descriptions, and what we expect from volunteers is outlined in the volunteer charter.
The network meets regularly, every Wednesday evening; attendance is not mandatory but welcomed. You will also need to attend regular Network Leads meetings on a monthly basis.
Successful candidates will be invited to an in‑person interview and will undergo necessary screening, including an Enhanced DBS check, right‑to‑volunteer check, professional references, and an occupational health assessment.
Volunteers are expected to attend training for the role both online and in person, and to attend network meetings regularly to keep their skills up to date.
