Would you like to be part of a team that makes a real difference?
Meon Valley Heartstart is a dynamic voluntary group that provides emergency life saving skills training free-of-charge to schools, community groups and members of the public. Since established, we have trained more than 36,000 people across southern Hampshire – all of this training and the management and administration of it is provided by volunteers.
​
Our volunteers come from various backgrounds; business personnel, teachers, nurses, ambulance crews, first aiders, unemployed and retired. You can decide where, when and how much time you commit.
​
Our expansion means that we are looking for more volunteers to help us get this essential training to as many people as possible.

CURRENT VACANCIES:
VOLUNTEER TRAINERS​
​All our trainers have operational emergency experience. So if you are retired or able to give up some of your time and you are experienced in roles such as nursing, GP, consultant, paramedic, etc. we would love to hear from you. Our training is scheduled months ahead so you can opt to run as many courses as you wish, and you will know the schedule well in advance of the dates. We ideally ask each trainer to be able to run at least 2 courses per month.
​
VOLUNTEER TRAINING ASSISTANTS
An invaluable role supporting our qualified trainers while they present the training sessions – no previous experience is necessary; training will be provided and full support given.​​​
​
MARKETING & PR VOLUNTEER
Do you have skills in communications, writing articles, designing posters, using social media and speaking to members of the public?
​
We require an enthusiastic person to join the team to help raise awareness of Meon Valley HeartStart across Hampshire. This can be a shared role if required, and we estimate around 2-3 hours per week would be ideal.
​
Full training will be given, so if you are reasonably IT literate and would like to make a difference to our organisation, we'd really love to hear from you. Work will include updating our website, writing articles for local publications, attending fetes and other local events, posting and sharing details of our courses on Facebook, designing posters for courses, and other opportunities to improve our visibility across Hampshire.
