St John Ambulance is appealing for volunteers in Chichester to join its Cadet programme as Youth Leaders. The charity says growing demand for its youth schemes has created a need for additional volunteers to help support local groups and inspire the next generation of first aiders.
Role of Youth Leaders
Youth Leaders play a key role in welcoming young people into the Cadet programme and helping to run weekly sessions. Volunteers work with children and teenagers aged between 10 and 17, teaching first aid, developing life skills and encouraging confidence and teamwork.
About the Cadet Programme
St John Ambulance's Cadets form one of the largest uniformed youth organisations in England, with more than 12,000 young people taking part nationwide. The programme provides young people with valuable skills and experiences that help them grow into responsible and capable adults.
Commitment and Training
The role requires a commitment of around two hours per week, with full training and ongoing support provided. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to develop their own first aid, leadership and mentoring skills. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to give back to their community while gaining new competencies.
How to Apply
The charity is encouraging anyone interested in working with young people and supporting their local community to find out more about the opportunity and apply through its website. The application process is straightforward, and the charity welcomes applicants from all backgrounds.
Location
This volunteer opportunity is based in Chichester, where local groups are in need of dedicated Youth Leaders to help expand the Cadet programme and meet the growing demand.
