We’re always looking for friendly and enthusiastic volunteers to join our team. Our roles are flexible in terms of time and are available across Wales. Whether you have family commitments, work full-time, are a student or retired, we've got a role for you and just ask that you help when you can.
Find out more about volunteering with St John Ambulance Cymru below or hit the 'join us' button if you're ready to start volunteering.
We know you’ll want to make a real difference when you volunteer, but it’s not just about what you can do for us or your community, our volunteers can get a lot out of the experience too.
Volunteering can be a great way to enhance your CV and show employers what you can do and the commitment you can make. You could volunteer in a role which will help your career, such as communications or finance. Plus as Wales’ leading first aid charity, we’re a great organisation to get involved with if you want to pursue a career in health or social care.
You don’t need to have any previous first aid or volunteering experience to volunteer with us. You’ll learn the skills you need for the role you choose. Wether that’s being a youth leader or first aider we'll provide all the training you need to get going and a programme of contours learning for the time you're with us.
Every day our volunteers help keep communities across Wales safe. They could be providing first aid at an event, responding to an emergency call or be helping behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly.
Volunteering is a great way to meet new people. Whether you join one of our local divisions as a first aider, or want to sit on our board of trustees there's lots of opportunities to meet like minded people, make friends, connections and find other to learn from.
Whatever you enjoy doing and however much time you can commit, from first aid to finance, there’s a volunteer role for you.
We love hearing our volunteers' stories about what St John Ambulance Cymru means to them. Here are a few to give you a taste of what it's like to volunteer with us.
I joined St John Ambulance Cymru nearly 20 years ago with the childhood dream of wanting to become a doctor.
My experience has taught me how to help someone who is unresponsive as well as how to give basic first aid.
St John Ambulance Cymru has helped me to support my community, help others and develop my first aid skills.
I really enjoy regularly going out on duties across Cardiff and the Vale and helping at my division each week.
Over the past six years, I've learned lots of new skills and got to know more people in our community.
