Overview

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.

Sessions will be delivered face‑to‑face or at a partner NHS building or SJA building in a hybrid or virtual way during term time. Please note you will need flexibility to travel and work evenings and weekends where required.
