Volunteering is a fantastic way to enhance your CV, meet new people, and learn lifesaving skills.
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. We are looking for people with excellent interpersonal skills to join our Safeguarding team.
Safeguarding is central to the work of St John Ambulance because it ensures that the diverse range of services we provide to children and adults at risk of harm are delivered safely. Safeguarding Team Members do this in a number of ways, including:
Monitoring the implementation of the safeguarding policy.
Responding to questions regarding safeguarding.
Providing guidance on safeguarding matters.
Learning is at the heart of St John Ambulance, and we offer a very large range of learning and developmental opportunities to our volunteers, including the full professional training that is essential for our Safeguarding Team Members:
Safeguarding Awareness
