In this section are just some of the many people in the roles that make this happen. CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSISTANT Name: Kashif Nazir It s my job to guide and advise customers on the training that s right for them, and tailor solutions to meet their requirements. I really enjoy speaking with our customers and making sure they get everything they need. Being able to help other people learn life saving skills and hearing the stories of how we have helped to change lives through our training is the best reward.

8 MEET THE EXPERTS DELIVERY COORDINATOR Name: Yvonne Dormer I became a St John Ambulance trainer 23 years ago and now line-manage a team of trainers in the region. It s a delivery coordinators job to ensure we always train to the highest standards. Businesses often require bespoke on-site training solutions and it s my job to create courses to meet their exact requirements. I love to watch our trainers grow and develop their skills and knowing I am working for an organisation that makes a difference to people s lives is the best part of my job. RESOURCE COORDINATOR Name: Leah Rawle It s my job to look after the logistics of our training services to ensure that all of our courses are organised efficiently. I m lucky that I can travel all over the region to our many training venues to make sure everything is in place and ready for our customers. I love the variety of my day-to-day work and being part of a great team.

9 MEET THE EXPERTS TRAINER Name: Winston Marshall I got into first aid 30 years ago when I was working in construction and was asked to become a first aider. Soon after that, I joined St John Ambulance as a volunteer, before qualifying as a professional trainer. I suppose you could say I haven t looked back. I m passionate about first aid and about teaching life saving skills to other people, and so I love what I do I know I m really lucky to be able to say that. TRAINER Name: Sinead Trinnaman It s my job to make sure students get the most out of their course and to make it enjoyable for them. The most important thing for me is to make sure first aiders feel confident in their new skills. I love teaching people to save lives. I m also a scuba diving instructor and as part of that job I had to become a first aid trainer. When I took the First aid at work course, I found out St John Ambulance was hiring. I jumped at the chance to apply and do something I m passionate about as a full-time job.

10 MEET THE EXPERTS TRAINER Name: Dave Norton As a trainer specialising in first aid and fire safety, it s my job to make sure first aiders and fire marshals have the skills and, importantly, the confidence to act quickly, safely and effectively in an emergency. It gives me great pride to teach lifelong skills, which they can then use to help others. What I particularly enjoy about my job is getting to meet new people, and the great colleagues I get to work alongside. CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSISTANT LEAD SUPPLIES Name: Martin Knight Working in the Supplies customer service department there s a new challenge around every corner. It is my responsibility to make sure our customers experience the very best service and get the products they need for their workplace, home or community. As a lead customer service assistant, I offer support across the team and coach and develop my colleagues. I enjoy speaking with our customers and going the extra mile to make sure they get everything they need. I like knowing that the profits generated from the products our customers buy all fund our first aid charity. The best thing about working for St John Ambulance, regardless of your role, is that we all help to save lives. That is what St John Ambulance is about.
