Volunteering

It will take 4-12 weeks to get you trained and out there, so please read & apply correctly to avoid delay.

St John always needs enthusiastic, willing and capable people – just like you to assist us in helping our community save lives through First Aid.

If you provide us with 12 to 24 days a year to attend free events and training we can provide you with opportunities for an improved quality of life.*
