Community First Aider

at Community Medics

Role Description

Our Community First Aid Volunteers are a vital part of the team, helping to deliver safe, compassionate, and community-focused first aid cover at local events. You’ll work alongside experienced responders who hold FREC 3 or higher qualifications, supporting them in caring for patients and ensuring events run smoothly.

When there are no patients to attend to, you’ll also help with our community engagement work, from supporting CPR demonstrations and first aid awareness activities, to chatting with the public about what we do and how they can get involved.

No previous medical experience is required, we’ll provide full training to prepare you for your role, along with regular CPD sessions to help you grow your skills and confidence. What matters most is your willingness to learn, your teamwork, and your commitment to helping your community stay safe.
