As well as providing Ambulance Services, our programmes and team of over 11,000 staff and volunteers are helping to build strong, resilient communities across the motu; supporting everyone in Aotearoa to live healthier, happier, and longer lives.

He aha te tūranga - About the role:

Our Community Education team provides learning experiences for tamariki of all ages to empower them for life.  Community Educators visit schools, kura, and early childhood centres to offer young people life skills, preparing them for the future.

This is a fantastic permanent part-time role.  There's great flexibility to plan and schedule your own working week (32 hours).  Programme delivery will need be within school opening hours, however, any planning, preparation, and admin can be done at a time that suits you.

• St John in Schools - first aid training to tamariki of all ages

With both curricula already designed, you will be responsible for providing a vibrant, high-energy programme that captures the attention and interest of our tamariki and inspires them to take responsibility for their health and wellbeing and the wellbeing of others.
