Community First Responders volunteer their spare time to be available for selected 999 calls to help other members of the community.
Volunteers can be male or female, aged over eighteen years. They must have access to a car and be able to attend emergency calls from either their home or place of work as soon as they are received.
While a responder is on call they can continue with their normal day to day activities while in the local area, but must be ready to drop everything and attend a call should one arise.
A Community First Responder needs to be extremely reliable and trust worthy, good under pressure, able to remain calm in emergency situations, be caring when dealing with patients and have a good level of physical fitness.
Prospective responders have to undergo a Criminal Records Bureau Check (CRB) which is carried out by the Ambulance Trust and will need to pass an interview.
If you would like to become a community responder, please contact the Community Responder Team on 01273 897 861 or email: recruitment@secamb.nhs.uk
