Description
Hato Hone St John is recruiting volunteers for its First Response Unit, which responds to time-critical emergency incidents such as cardiac arrest when a full-time ambulance is not immediately available. Volunteers are notified through an automated messaging system, meet at a station, travel to the scene, and provide critical patient care until further assistance arrives. The role includes training in advanced first aid, clinical care, driving, radio use, risk management, and first responder operations, with ongoing support and benefits. Applicants must hold a full and clean New Zealand driver's licence for at least 12 months or complete an approved NZTA advanced driving course, be at least 18 years old, hold New Zealand citizenship or permanent resident status, have a clean police record, meet medical standards, and pass recruitment assessments. The application closes on Sunday 29 November 2026.
