BE PART OF SOMETHING
MEANINGFUL
Mutual respect throughout our diverse teams
The team spirit that pulses throughout is one of the most important benefits of being part of St John WA. There’s a deep understanding across our organisation that to deliver our first aid and ambulance services throughout our State everyone has a role to play. It’s the unique St John WA team spirit that has been created by people proud to be part of something truly big, where every person in our team has an understanding that each and every one of us is part of the whole and we are stronger together.
St John WA is committed to achieving a diverse workforce and strongly encourages applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, people from culturally diverse backgrounds and people with disabilities.
Growing with St John WA
At St John WA we promote self-learning and development and encourage our people to seek out opportunities for learning.
There are development opportunities to grow you professionally and to keep you at the forefront of the constant changes in technology, equipment and healthcare - we understand that if we all grow individually, we will grow as a team. For our people, that creates the reward of being able to be a life-long learner. For our community, that creates the reassurance of a service that is constantly looking for ways to improve.
Lead with heart
We are proudly inclusive and treat everyone with kindness and respect. We know that being kind means having courageous conversations. We listen without judgement and respond with humility. We care because we are passionate about what we do.
Think team
We inspire and support each other to do the very best. We challenge each other to learn, develop and grow in a safe environment. We know that our diverse backgrounds and experiences make us stronger. Proud and united in purpose, we are one St John WA.
Make it better
We put our people and community at the centre of everything we do. We take the lead and strive for continuous improvement and excellence. We are curious and find new ways to deliver better outcomes. We show courage to think differently and never lose sight of the big picture.
Walk the talk
We are reliable and follow through on our commitments. We own our mistakes and deliver on our promises. We build genuine relationships and communicate clearly, honestly and proactively. We do what is right, every time, no matter what.
First Aid Training
First Aid Training
Knowing first aid is a vital skill and we actively encourage all employees to learn it. Statistics indicate that 80% of cardiac arrests occur in the home and that for each minute CPR is not administered, a patient’s survival rate decreases by 10%.
All employees are offered a complementary HLTAID011 Provide first aid course every three years, which is conducted at a St John WA training centre. Immediate family members living at the same address as the employee are also entitled to one free course every three years.
Health and wellbeing
Health and wellbeing
As one of the largest medical providers in WA, St John understands the importance of a healthy and active lifestyle. To ensure a healthy workforce, St John offers a Health and Wellbeing benefit valued at $550 to eligible staff (pro-rata for part-time employees) to help towards covering the cost of ongoing memberships such as health clubs, gyms, pilates and yoga classes. Health programs such as Quit Now or Weight Watchers are also covered by the benefit as is leasing certain sporting equipment (e.g. treadmills, cross trainers).
Superannuation
Superannuation
When we retire we all hope to have enough money to afford a comfortable lifestyle. For most of us this will come from our superannuation funds. As an added incentive to save, any employee who makes an extra 5% contribution to their superannuation fund (in addition to St John’s contribution) will receive an additional 1.5% top up based upon their ordinary earnings (excludes overtime and penalties).

Salary Packaging

We’ll help you maximise your income. Salary packaging is one of the most popular benefits our employees enjoy. Salary packaging can substantially increase your take-home pay. Salary packaging allows you to allocate a portion of your annual pay towards expenses before it is taxed, resulting in more money in your pocket.
