Join NHS Cadets and help us empower the next generation of lifesavers.
Our free NHS Cadets programme gives young people the chance to explore exciting opportunities in healthcare while building their confidence and readiness for the workplace. Through fun weekly sessions, our NHS Cadets get to develop their communication, leadership, and teamwork skills. There's also the chance to:
- Meet like-minded people and make new friends
- Learn vital first aid skills that can help save lives
- Gain the skills and knowledge to find local volunteering opportunities
Applications are open to young people aged 14-18 years old, or up to 25 for those with a disability and/or special education needs, from all backgrounds, especially those from underserved communities and who are underrepresented in the NHS and St John Ambulance. We also offer the opportunity for schools and youth organisations to self-deliver the programme to their young people.
