Do you want to make a difference and be part of a vibrant and inclusive organisation that has been helping save lives for more than a century? As one of the country’s best-loved charities, St John Ambulance played a pivotal role in responding to the pandemic as well as everyday health emergencies, training, supporting communities, and improving young people’s lives.
Reporting to the Director of Volunteer Experience, and working in day-to-day partnership with a senior regional volunteer leader, you'll develop a compelling vision and strategy to build a thriving community first aid movement across your region.
About You
In this role, you'll leverage your experience collaborating with volunteer groups to empower them and achieve our shared goals. You'll be responsible for organising and leading engaging workshops and community sessions, both online and in-person. If you thrive in front of an audience and enjoy presenting ideas clearly and confidently, this role is for you.
Please see the job description for more details about the responsibilities and person specification.
About The Role
Our new strategy orientates the whole charity around our vision for community first aid – providing it, teaching it and raising awareness of it. You’ll support volunteers from across St John to be at the centre of this work, coming together locally to serve their communities. Specifically, you will be responsible for:
Attracting, recruiting, training and engaging volunteers
Developing a compelling community education programme to build the public’s first aid skills
Empowering young people locally by providing training and development opportunities
Drawing supporters and donors to our cause with compelling local fundraising campaigns
Build awareness of our activities amongst the public, partner agencies and senior volunteers and stakeholders
Ensure St John has an impact in the communities that need it most through practices funded by our principles of equity, diversity and inclusion.
About Us
St John Ambulance is committed to increasing the diversity of our team and making sure we best reflect the diversity of the communities we serve. We want this commitment to be reflected in the diversity of the people who work with us. We welcome submissions from people from all backgrounds and identities.
At St John, everyone is valued and supported to thrive; we have several networks including the Armed Forces Multi Culture, Disability and Accessibility, Pride, Family and Carers and Women’s groups. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination and engender a sense of belonging for all, by creating an environment of mutual respect, where we value unique differences and demonstrate authentic allyship. We believe passionately in equity, diversity and inclusion.
St John Ambulance has something for everyone. Hear from some of our amazing volunteers here.
We pride ourselves in being a great place to work, providing a supportive culture with opportunities to grow and develop your career, achieve a healthy work-life balance and be recognised for the great work you do. The role benefits from a competitive salary, generous pension, hybrid, flexible working, 33 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays) - increasing to 38 days over 5 years, options to buy and sell holiday, free first/mental aid first aider courses, Blue Light and NHS online shopping discounts, cycle to work scheme, life assurance, flu jab, eye care, mental health and wellbeing tools and volunteering days.
If you’d like further information, have access needs or require reasonable adjustments as part of the recruitment process, please state this in your application and a member of the Recruitment team will get in touch.
