Freelance BLS/CPR First Aid Trainer for First Aid Training Co-operative
About the First Aid Training Co-operative
First Aid Training Co-operative (FATC) is a growing brand in Scotland and across the UK. We are looking for an individual to become a freelance trainer specifically to deliver short Basic Life Support, CPR and AED courses for healthcare settings. Over the last couple of years, we have grown significantly, and with the addition of recent contracts we are now looking for an additional specialist trainer to join our training team.
We are a genuine Co-operative in name and legal structure, designed to help small first aid providers work together. Â We do this by centralising all administrative processes and business systems, leaving trainers to simply train and assess our students to a very high standard, without having to put time and effort into course administration or client management. Our operations are as paperless as possible, and our clients appreciate our well-resourced, professional and skilful trainers.
As well as a generous freelance course rate, we also pay our trainers’ expenses and operate a commission scheme for any course sales they generate. FATC currently has a trainer team of 15, many with specialist skills – MRT, paramedic, forest schools’ practitioners, expedition leaders etc. We have also organised and run the biennial ‘First Aid Conference’, for the benefit of the First Aid training industry in Scotland and N. England.
Your experience
- Background working in healthcare settings as a healthcare practitioner
- Hold a current FAW certificate, or equivalent and a relevant teaching & assessing qualification, as required by the HSE
- Already own, a full set of first aid training equipment which meet FATC training requirements i.e. 6 manikins and 6 AEDs training machines plus indoor mats etc for scenario work. FATC can potentially lend trainers some of this equipment initially
- Skills, qualifications and experience to deliver BLS and CRP/AED annual updates for doctors, dentists and healthcare staff
