Community Advocate

Impact

We enable communities to be safer by giving people lifesaving skills and knowledge to help their families and people around them. We are currently looking for volunteer Community Advocates who will help to be the difference within their community by building relationships and promoting the importance of learning lifesaving skills.

As a Community Advocate you will have the opportunity to be involved in delivering our programme of first aid education and awareness; from helping us to promote our work and the importance of first aid, to planning and running first aid workshops in your community. These workshops will provide skills to people who might not necessarily have the chance to learn them, meaning they can become that most vital of things; the difference between a life lost and a life saved. During the current climate and effects of COVID-19, to ensure everyone’s safety, workshops will be delivered virtually and you will be supported to deliver these to your community.

What you would be involved in?

• Delivering short demonstrations in a range of community locations

• Linking with other organisations, schools and groups

• promoting our work

We are looking for people who:

• We provide all the training and resources that you will need to make a difference in your community.

• We are looking for passionate people with relationship building skills who take pride in their community.

• If you have First Aid experience, that is helpful, but isn’t essential.

• This is a flexible volunteering role you can give as much or as little time as you can afford.
