Why not consider joining us as a volunteer first responder. Our group is both friendly and supportive and you will be made very welcome. Once character and CRB checks are completed you will receive full training from South Central Ambulance Service NHS Trust. After that you will be supported by one of our current responders during your initial periods "on-call".
We can provide you with an information pack to help you decide whether being a responder is for you. Simply ring our answerphone on 01425 659899, leave your name number and address and tell us you want the pack, and we will get it to you. We just ask that if decide not to join us, you return the pack to us by leaving us a message on 01425 659899 and we will arrange to collect it. This will save us money and enable us to re-use the information again.
You do have to be 18 to become a Responder. We recognise that those in their late teens or early twenties may be looking for experiences which may benefit them in their desired career path. If you are interested in gaining experience in the medical or caring fields or the blue light emergency services or many other career paths, being a Community First Responder for perhaps a year or more can improve your life skills, particularly those relating to communication and interpersonal abilities as well as showing prospective employers your commitment and drive. You just need a few hours a week to spare (or more if you wish) and have the use of a car. If you have a full UK car driving licence but no car, we may be able to help you, as we own our own response car.
