Community engagement and training team
The operational deployment, training, recruitment and management of our Community First Responders is the remit of SCAS’s Community Engagement and Training Team. Officers working in all five of our areas work closely with all our volunteers and ensure all responders are fully equipped to deal with incidents they are sent to.
The Head of Operations for the Community Engagement Team is Nic Dunbar. Nic is based at Bracknell Ambulance Station and leads the development of the team. Nic is supported by two Operations Managers. David Hamer is the Operations Manager in the North covering Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire and Jack Ansell is the Operations Manager in the South covering East and West Hampshire.
