What does a St John trainer do?

Our Trainers conduct classes at locations across Victoria; including fully equipped St John public venues, and workplaces where we provide onsite training for staff.  We deliver a variety of courses, from 2.5 hour courses in CPR to 6- month healthcare qualifications.

Our trainers participate in regular professional development activities and are assisted to maintain current vocational competency and industry skills. 

What does it take to become a Trainer?

Our team of trainers bring a range of life experiences to their roles.  Successful applicants will: 

• demonstrate excellent communication skills and a passion for community education
