Recruiting Volunteer Rope Rescuers – Nov 2017

The St John Rescue Corps has launched a campaign to recruit volunteers interested in joining the Corps. The recruitment programme starting in November 2017 is mainly targetted towards volunteers interested in rope rescue duties with the SJRC.

The programme consists of these modules:

The training programme will commence on Saturday 11 November. Training sessions will be held Saturday afternoon between 1400 and 1800hrs at St John Rescue Corps Training School at Fort Madalena. Occasionally some training sessions may be held during the week (one evening between 1900hrs and 2100hrs). During the course, the participants will be required to take a number of theoretical and practical assessments.
