Our People
Work/life balance for staff
St John Ambulance is committed to
equality of opportunity in employment for its entire
staff. This includes developing work practices and human resource
policies that support work/life balance in the interest of the
organisation achieving its charitable and commercial outcomes.
Where possible, St John Ambulance seeks to offer employees
alternative working patterns that will help them to strike a
balance between their paid work and their personal life
obligations, such as flexible working in order to fulfil childcare
responsibilities.
Health and safety
St John Ambulance recognises that all those working with and for
us are a valuable asset in helping us achieve our vision. As such,
we are committed to ensuring that health and
safety policies, recognising the Health and Safety at Work Act
and other relevant legislation, are in place to ensure that their
day to day working environment and organisational cultural
experience is a safe and happy one.
Training and development
St John Ambulance is committed to helping all people within the
organisation to perform their jobs effectively. We aim to encourage
everyone to perform their jobs to the highest possible standard,
providing both appropriate training and development opportunities
and an environment in which people are motivated and encouraged to
develop their skills and knowledge. For instance we work with the
Institute of Leadership Management to help personnel to gain
qualifications that help them to develop their current roles and
future opportunities.
Diversity
St John Ambulance is committed to being an equal, inclusive and diverse organisation. We
embrace those of any age, race, sexuality, gender, disability,
socioeconomic background, religion or belief who either want to
help us to realise our charitable vision, mission and values, or
benefit from the services we provide.
Recently accredited with the Two Ticks symbol, this award is
evidence of our commitment to the recruitment and retention of
those with disabilities and to positively develop employee
awareness of disability.
