Job Description
Avon and Somerset Police have joined HeartSafe UK and NHS England South West to launch the Avon and Somerset Bleed Kit Partnership – The aim is to place emergency bleed kits in local communities across the region.
Do you have some spare time each week that you could give to coordinating this project in local communities across Avon and Somerset?
The Avon and Somerset Bleed Kit Partnership is a collaborative, region-leading initiative delivered by Avon & Somerset Police, HeartSafe, and NHS England South West, with operational support from the South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWASFT). The programme exists to improve survival outcomes from catastrophic bleeding — one of the most time-critical medical emergencies — by placing publicly accessible, NHS-approved bleed control kits throughout communities.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Our bleed kits are designed to be instantly accessible in an emergency for any non-trained member of the public to use in the event of someone experiencing a severe bleed injury, potentially helping to preserve a life in the crucial minutes before emergency services arrive on scene.
We now have over 700 bleed kits already installed in communities across Avon and Somerset (as of the end of 2025) and secured further funding to ensure the Constabulary will monitor, maintain, and replace any used, damaged, or stolen kits free of charge — the first commitment of its kind in the UK!
Why volunteer with us?
- Be the difference – you will be part of a large community of over 200 police volunteers.
- Learn new skills and gain experience – you will receive training on how to provide practical and emotional support.
- Give back – your support will help make Avon and Somerset a safer place to live, work, and visit.
