Job description

Community Volunteer (North Yorkshire Coast & Moors Network)

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

Support the work of St John Ambulance in your community by volunteering as a Community Volunteer, an exciting new role which is designed to revamp how volunteering looks in the modern world; flexible, innovative and is open for all.

We need people who have a passion for helping others, care about their communities and want to make a difference, supporting them to become safe and more resilient. Community Volunteers can choose from a wide selection of activities – including fundraising, talks and demonstrations, supporting at events, volunteer welfare, social media and administration support.

Through supporting the growth of community partnerships, you will bring people along to our cause, growing our membership and fundraising base and spreading the message that First Aid Saves Lives.

Give as much (or little) time as you can afford.With this new role, you simply volunteer when it works for you. That means you can give as much time as you like or as little as 24 hours across a whole year, whenever it suits you. It’s perfect for busy lives, changing schedules, or for anyone seeking a low-commitment involvement.

The Community Volunteer provides an easy way to stay connected and contribute meaningfully to your local community. Here are some examples of what you could do:

• Talks and demonstrations
• Community Roadshows
• Supporting national campaigns
• Counting and banking money
• Booking events
• Supporting Networks
• Administration support
• Writing thank you and community letters
• Media and social media
• Community news and Network newsletters

Through volunteering as a Community Volunteer, you’ll get a huge sense of satisfaction and pride delivering an essential service. It’s great for you, great for your community and great for our nation, and it requires only a small commitment of your time.

Once we have completed your selection and screening for this role, we will provide you with an induction, as well as invite you to any necessary training sessions. We will also provide you with a supportive environment while you are volunteering with us. Information about our volunteer roles are included in the role descriptions. What you can expect from SJA, and what we expect from those who volunteer with us, is included in the volunteer charter.

We are recruiting Community Volunteers across the North Yorkshire Coast & Moors Network. Successful applicants will support with the planning and facilitation of local fundraising activities, public community engagement events, and the delivery of first aid talks and demonstrations with local groups. This flexible and rewarding role offers the opportunity to make a real impact in your community while developing valuable skills and experiences.

Selection & Welcome events to be confirmed with the successful applicants.

Closing date for these opportunities is: 10/10/2025
