First Aid + CPR Instructors
St. John Ambulance First Aid & CPR Instructors are part-time contractors who enjoy teaching others how to be confident first aid responders. Most Instructors have part-time or full-time employment elsewhere and supplement their income with occasional teaching contracts.
Now Recruiting: Candidates with some week day, daytime availability.
St. John Ambulance selects instructors with a high degree of knowledge and skills and with a personality and training style that ensures the first aid classroom experience for the participant is enjoyable.

- Comfortable speaking in front of groups
- Background in a health care, adult education, occupational health & safety and/or an emergency service related field

The St. John Ambulance Instructor Development program is an excellent one. You must apply to be accepted into it. A St. John Ambulance Standard First Aid + CPR level C certificate in current standing is required as a pre-requisite. The Instructor course is 40 hours long and runs over 5 days or 2 weekends (2 Friday evenings, 2 Saturdays and 2 Sundays).

Volunteer Opportunities
Highest Need for Volunteers: (Car Seat Safety Team)
Do you have about 5 hours per month to spare? Would you like to help us improve Child Passenger Safety?
Motor vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death and disability to children under the age of 10. Experts estimate that over 70% of these deaths and injuries could be prevented with the proper use and installation of child car seats.
The process of using and securing children's restraint systems in vehicles can be complicated. Our team of Child Restraint Technicians are specially trained to provide guidance to parents successful installations.
As a Car Seat Safety Team volunteer, you start as an Apprentice. As you become more familiar with the process, you may be offered an opportunity to upgrade to Technician status. This is optional, but your participation in this step will significantly improve the team's ability to help more families.
Start out as an Apprentice today! Join our volunteer information session and get your application form. See the schedule below for the Volunteer Information session dates. Please RSVP your attendance at our office by calling 905-568-1905.
