We are looking for volunteers to join our team.

Our aim is to collaborate with Dundee city council and the statutory emergency services with the provision of trained volunteers to help communities across Dundee prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies like severe weather, flooding, power outages, or public health crises.

⛈️ Severe Weather support
🏪 Rest Centre support
⛑️ First Aid & Lifesaving

Volunteers come from a wide range of backgrounds. Any one over the age of 18 can apply to become a member.

Volunteers are taught a wide range of skills including:

⛑️ * First Aid & CPR
🔥 * Fire Safety
🌊 * Water Safety Awareness
🏨 * Rest Centre Support

Volunteers are expected to attend training for 2 hours (7 -9pm) on the first Wednesday, and 4 hours (10 - 2pm) on the second Saturday each month and to make themselves available for occasional duties such as providing first aid cover at community events.

Volunteers may also be called out at short notice to deal with adverse weather, such as flooding, storm damage or to help with other emergencies.

* Training – our training is at a very high standard and is independently certified by bodies such as Qualsafe, Lantra, RLSS, etc. These qualifications may be useful in your career.

* Personal development – our volunteers get involved in a wide range of activities and develop many useful personal skills.

* Friendships – working with other volunteers is a great way of meeting new people.

* Giving something back – our volunteers know they are helping their communities often in times of great need.

* Uniforms – our Volunteers are provided with Work-Wear Uniforms and Personal Protection appropriate for tasks undertaken. Please note you will be required to purchase your own safety footwear.
