WANTED - Volunteer First Responders

Merthyr First Responders are looking for volunteers throughout the Merthyr Borough to train as Community First Responders.

When a patient faces a serious emergency, every second counts for them, and a simple helping hand from a Community First Responder can make a vital difference to their lives.

Volunteers are trained by the Welsh Ambulance Service to administer basic first aid skills, oxygen therapy, cardiopulmonary resuscitation and the use of a defibrillator.

Could you become a Community First Responder?

• Do you enjoy a challenge?

• Are you good under pressure and remain calm in an emergency?

• Are you proud of the community in which you live and want to give something back?

• Do you have free time to spare?

• Are you ready to learn essential life saving skills?

• Have you got a full, clean driving license?

• Are you in reasonable good health?

• Are you over the age of eighteen?

If it’s a YES to all the questions then you are the person we are looking for to join our team.
