Summary

Youth Helpers support the teaching of young people, from all different backgrounds, vital and life-changing first aid skills. No previous experience needed.

Detailed description

Youth Team Volunteers teach young people, of all different backgrounds, vital and life-changing first aid skills. We have two programmes – our 5-10 year olds are called Badgers and our 10-17 year olds are called Cadets. 

 

You'll help them build up their confidence, self-discipline and, teamwork skills, and have some fun along the way. 

We're looking for Youth Helpers and Youth Leaders. You’ll start off as a Youth Helper and, if you fancy it, you'll get the opportunity to become a Youth Leader, with some additional training and experience.  

 

As a Youth Helper you will:

  • Create a safe, inclusive and open environment, where young people can learn life skills including First Aid.
  • Support the delivery of games, activities and sessions.
  • Coordinate with your team to make sure young people are safe and supervised.
  • Empower and encourage inclusion and participation of all the young people.
  • Support the Unit Manager with administration, collecting resources, paperwork, etc.

 

All training will be given, so no experience is necessary. The role will require an enhanced DBS disclosure to be completed after joining St John Ambulance [it is NOT a prerequisite to apply].
