Ambulance Youth Programme Volunteer

Our youth programmes give young people the opportunity to learn first aid alongside other important life skills. They operate throughout England.

Badgers (Ages 7-10)
Our fun and adventurous Badger Setts are packed with activities for children so they can learn important life skills in an exciting and safe environment.

Cadets (Ages 10-17)
At Cadets it’s all about fun, community and developing your skills. You can learn first aid, earn your Grand Prior Award and volunteer within your community alongside our First Aid volunteers.
We are looking for enthusiastic individuals as Youth Team members who are keen to develop their own skills whilst supporting the development of our young people and helping them to learn how they can help and care for others in the community.

Be part of a team that empowers and supports young people
As one of our Cadets or Badgers youth team volunteers, you’ll be trained to provide our young people with both life skills and life saving skills, all while having fun!

You’ll be volunteering with Badgers (aged 7-10) or Cadets (aged 11-18). You’ll help to support them to care for others, gain new experiences, and learn important life skills, including first aid.
You’ll have the chance to design your own role. This could involve running fun activities, such as outdoor events, summer camps, or providing more ‘behind-the-scenes’ support.
You’ll also have the chance to learn first aid. As well as the opportunity to become a Youth Leader with the support and guidance from a friendly volunteer manager.

This is a flexible volunteer role. Whether it’s once a week or once a month, you can volunteer as much or as little as suits you and your lifestyle.
