Volunteer Roles

Independent Trustee 

St John Cymru-Wales is the nation’s first aid charity. We believe that everyone who needs first aid should receive it.

We wish to recruit a new member to join our fourteen strong governing body, the Chapter Board of trustees.

We need people who can help direct St John Wales towards achieving its mission and ensure the organisation is effectively managed. You would need to be able to make a commitment to St John and devote the necessary time; have strategic vision, independent judgement, an ability to think creatively and a willingness to speak your mind.

Ideally, the new trustee will also have skills and experience in one or more of the following areas:

• networking and relationship building with senior policymakers at the national level
• charity regulation at a national, strategic level
• expanding service delivery through training delivery and patient transport
• fundraising
• IT expertise –this would be particularly desirable
• voluntary and community sector.

We are particularly keen to achieve a diverse board of trustees, and we welcome

applications from all sections of the community.

We will pay trustees’ travel expenses and provide an induction into the role of a trustee and the work of St John Wales.
