Volunteering with St John Ambulance strengthens communities. From youth support and education to wellbeing, events, and fundraising; your time makes a real impact.

At St John Ambulance, we are looking to develop our volunteering offer and become an even more integral part of our communities through delivering community first aid and education.

We need people who have a passion for helping others, care about their communities, and want to make a difference by sharing your first aid skills and knowledge. As a Community First Aider, you’ll deliver first aid at local events and provide education to the public to promote the importance of First Aid.

By supporting community partnerships, you will help grow our membership and fundraising efforts and spread the message that First Aid Saves Lives.

Volunteering as a Community First Aider offers a great sense of satisfaction and pride in delivering an essential service. It’s beneficial for you, your community, and the nation, requiring only a small time commitment.

We will provide you with a proper induction, training, and a supportive environment while volunteering. Details about volunteer roles are included in the role descriptions, and our volunteer charter outlines what you can expect from SJA and our expectations of volunteers.

Are you a resident of Sefton? Do you want to make the difference between a life saved and a life lost? We are recruiting Community First Aiders across Sefton, including Southport, Formby, Waterloo, Crosby, and Maghull.

Volunteers are expected to attend network meetings regularly (at least monthly) and participate in operational events.

Interviews are scheduled for early to mid-October 2025. The process includes an informal chat with current volunteers, a brief introduction to St John Ambulance, an opportunity to learn lifesaving skills, and screening checks.

If successful, you will undertake induction and training on the following dates:
Welcome Event (Induction): 1st November
