Community First Responder

For East of England Ambulance Services

Register your interest

Our community first responders (CFRs) are volunteers who are trained by us to attend certain types of emergency calls in the area where they live or work.

Their aim is to reach a potential life threatening emergency in the first vital minutes before the ambulance crew arrives.

Their role is to help stabilise the patient and provide the appropriate care until the more highly skilled ambulance crew arrives on scene to take over the treatment.

We give full training and support.



What skills do I need?

Anyone can become a community first responder but you must:

  • be physically fit
  • be aged between 18-70
  • agree to a disclosure and barring service check (DBS). This was previously known as criminal records bureau disclosure or CRB.
  • have a sympathetic, caring nature
  • agree to undertake training, which we provide
  • have a full driving licence and access to a road worthy car.
