Emergency aid team members Kennemerland (volunteer)

Do you keep a cool head in times when others may not be able to and do you enjoy supporting emergency services (police, ambulance, fire brigade) by taking care of slightly injured victims? Then we are looking for you!

Within the Red Cross we have emergency teams that go to large or small calamities with flashing lights and sirens. You will be called by means of a pager when a calamity has occurred where the emergency team is needed. During the incident, the emergency team treats the slightly injured patients, so that the ambulance staff has their hands free for the more seriously injured patients. Our team in Kennemerland could use some extra hands and that is why we are looking for:
