Good Morning, we hope everyone is having a fantastic day so far. The SJA team on the island are looking for new volunteers to join us. If you're looking for something to do with your evenings and weekend we're looking for youth helpers to join our youth team to help shape the medic/paramedic/doctor of the future, giving them life skills they’ll need. If this is something that may interest you then please follow the link for details and to apply. More links will follow for Community Volunteers and Community First Aiders soon.

Search for current volunteer opportunities with St John Ambulance near you and help to make your community a safe place.
