Pioneered by St John Ambulance Victoria in 2012, our community programs allows St John to share our commitment to building a life long ability to offer first aid in response to an emergency. Our programs deliver engaging and age appropriate First Aid information and training to children, youth and adults in schools and community settings.

Our Community Education Officers are responsible for delivering engaging and age appropriate First Aid information and training programs, facilitating first aid demonstrations in community settings, and actively contributing to community programs including CPR Lab, Defib in your Street and Party Safe programs. They will liaise with schools and community groups, support the scheduling and planning of delivery, ensure equipment is cleaned and maintained as well as contributing ideas and suggestions to program content and delivery.

St John is committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable work environment for all our people. We encourage an environment where people feel respected, safe and valued for who they are and the contribution they make to the organisation and the community. We welcome and encourage applications from people across our diverse community, especially from Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) applicants.

As an organisation that regularly works with children, we at St John believe that all children have the right to be emotionally and physically safe at all times, and to be treated with dignity and respect, free from emotional, psychological and physical danger, abuse and neglect. St John is committed to identifying, mitigating and managing risk to children through a preventative and risk management approach.
