Volunteer Community First Responder in Cardiff

2 months ago


Cardiff, Cardiff, United Kingdom Welsh Ambulance Services NHS Trust Full time

CFRs in Wales are volunteers who donate their spare time to attend appropriate 999 calls and provide first hand emergency care to people in their own community.

When a 999 call is made, our CFRs are alerted to an emergency call via a handheld mobile device from one of our three Regional Ambulance Control Centres. Our volunteers will drive to the address of the incident, under normal road conditions, and will adhere to the Highway Code at all times. Our volunteers will not be permitted to drive under Emergency Conditions e.g., Blue Lights.

Working for our organisation

What happens if my application is successful?

The CFR training course will comprise of five full days of training on the dates below:

Monday 30th September - Friday 4th of October 2024 9am - 5pm at St David's Shopping Centre, Cardiff

All new volunteers MUST be able to attend all of the five training dates listed above - we will therefore take your application as confirmation of your availability.

All new volunteers will undertake an enhanced DBS check and ID check; occupational health clearance and two character references will also be required. Each new learner will be given access to 15 eLearning modules which must be completed prior to the commencement of the course.

During the course a network of WAST support staff will train volunteers in life saving skills and how to use the equipment available to our CFRs. On successful completion of the course, we will put you in touch with your local CFR team, to allow you to integrate and start using your newly acquired skills by responding to calls in your community.
