VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY- JOIN US TODAY! 

Little LifeSavers charity trains volunteers to deliver our 70 minute, FREE, lifesaving skills sessions to school children in years 5-8. We have taught over 20,000 children to date (2 of whom have saved a life).

We are looking to increase our volunteer numbers in your area so that we can keep up with our booking demand.

By volunteering with us, you can:

• Learn hands only CPR and other crucial lifesaving skills for yourself, then pass on your knowledge on to the next generation. 
•  Meet likeminded people and make friends OR sign up with friends and have a fun time teaching together. 
•  Build your confidence and sense of achievement. 
•  Enhance your CV and future employment prospects.

Sign up & training is quick and online (approx. 3-4 hours). Once you have come through our onboarding process and you have your DBS certificate you are ready to teach. If you do not have an enhanced DBS certificate then we can apply for one for you for a one off fee of £15. 

Please note, you do not need to have previous first aid knowledge/be studying a subject in medicine/healthcare to volunteer with us. You teach in teams of 3 to groups of up to 60 children.

We are looking for volunteers with enthusiasm, drive and and passion to pass on their knowledge to children to help us achieve our goal of creating a 'Nation of LifeSavers'. Volunteering for us can work around you and your other commitments- you sign up to the sessions that work for you.

As we are still a small charity, we ask our volunteers to be active members of our volunteer community by helping us teach sessions/flyer/arrange school sessions/recruit volunteers/engage with us on social media/fundraise.

If this is you, please join our lovely volunteer community!

What skills do I need?

You just need to be enthusiastic to work with children, have some free time during school term time as our sessions are delivered in schools during the school day and you will need to have a DBS check. We also ask our volunteers to take the lead in their own communities by helping us recruit, arrange sessions and fundraise for us. You will need to be able to travel to schools in the Nottingham area.
