Could you teach people how to save a life?

We are recruiting for a customer-focused British Red Cross First Aid Trainer who will play a vital role in delivering first aid training and specialist courses, teaching life-saving skills to people throughout Cheshire and surrounding areas. From helping someone who is unresponsive, to treating burns, we equip people with the confidence to provide potentially lifesaving support in an emergency.

Traveling to training venues across Cheshire and surrounding areas, therefore candidates will need to have a driving licence and access to a vehicle.
Some flexibility will be needed as some evenings and weekend work will be required as part of a five day from six (Monday-Saturday, 9-5 working pattern, with the occasional evening course).
