No one should die because they needed first aid and didn’t get it. St John Ambulance teaches people first aid so they can be the difference between life and death, and you can help us do this.
As Cadet Group Lead, you will be responsible for the overall management of your St John Ambulance Youth unit. You will do this by leading weekly meetings, organising other youth development activities, and actively participating in recruitment, training and retention of the young people and volunteers in your unit. You will ensure that they have a positive and rewarding experience in St John Ambulance, by equipping them with the necessary skills to fulfil our vision: ‘Everyone who needs it should receive first aid from those around them. No one should suffer for the lack of trained first aiders.’
This role is ideal for someone who has some management experience and wants to enhance their skills while doing invaluable work.
Applicants will need to complete the Youth Leader Pathway if they have not already done so.
This role is exempt from the provisions of the Rehabilitations Offenders Act.
If you are successful you will need to undertake induction & training for this role.
For this role you will be shortlisted, interviewed and inducted. Details of times, venue, etc. will be provided (tbc).
Closing date for these opportunities is: 04/03/2026
