No one should die because they needed first aid and didn’t get it. St John Ambulance teaches people first aid so they can be the difference between life and death, and you can help us do this.
As a health professional volunteer, you would support our First Aid teams with patients who need more complex assessment or treatment, prescription medications or hospital admission. We would warmly welcome you into our clinical team, provide all your training, uniform and equipment and offer you a great chance to work as part of a friendly prehospital care team, with good clinical support from experienced colleagues. You would join our group of over 60 Sussex paramedics, doctors, nurses and physiotherapists who already give their time to volunteer with St John Ambulance. We understand how tiring your work shifts can be, and that your duty to your NHS patients will always come first, and we can offer you flexibility around volunteering shifts as well as paid travel to, and accommodation at, events.
We are seeking Event Paramedics to respond to and manage emergency calls/incidents whilst attending events. Event paramedics shall undertake clinical assessment and interventions in the pre-hospital environment, which may include venues such as stadia, concert halls, motorsports tracks, road races etc. This may involve working as part of an HCP-crewed vehicle, or in a dismounted capacity in treatment units or temporary event medical centres supporting clinical care
Successful candidates will be qualified paramedics with HCPC registration who have completed a minimum of 300 hours of supervised patient-facing work in a community unscheduled care setting and be able to provide evidence of CPD activity within the previous year.
NQPs can volunteer in this Event Paramedic role provided they hold a substantive role within another ambulance organisation

The closing date for this role is 30th June 2027.
