Operations and emergency support

Brian Rockell

Overseeing the area of the organisation that looks after volunteers, Brian can speak about recruitment and retention of volunteers, the training we give volunteers so they provide a professional service, our relationship with ambulance trusts, regulations applying to vehicles we use and the good work our volunteers do in their communities.

Roger Chatterton

Roger is the most senior volunteer in the organisation, his role being the voluntary equivalent of a CEO. His role is to formulate the voluntary strategy of the organisation and assist volunteers throughout the country in helping them work towards our vision. He can therefore talk about the importance of volunteering and the changes St John Ambulance is making to make sure we are modern and relevant in today’s society.

Harry Dymond

As a senior volunteer in the role of Chief Commissioner Operations, Training and Marketing, Harry is well placed to speak about the part volunteers play in emergencies, such as the summer floods of 2007, and the dedication of our members in helping their communities through first aid, transport and care. As Chair of the First aid at work council Harry is also aware of the latest HSE advice on first aid at work.

Seamus Kelly

As Deputy Chief Commissioner Operations Seamus can talk about the role that volunteers play in helping their communities. Until recently, Seamus also had a senior role in the London operations, leading on the first aid for events like the London Marathon. He also received an OBE for his voluntary work including his assistance during the 7 July London bombings.
