The seven individuals came forward following a recruitment drive and have received full training with Guernsey Ambulance & Rescue Staff.
The volunteers each have possession of an automatic external defibrillator and other medical equipment to quickly respond to critical medical calls across the island.
A similar scheme operates in Guernsey, and it’s been extended to the northern island after St John took on the responsibility for ambulance services in Alderney last April.
The group will support the four full time crew providing resilience generally but also for any major incidents.
Chief Executive Officer of Guernsey’s Ambulance and Rescue service, Mark Mapp, said this was the next phase to develop services.
“The initiative is part of our ongoing commitment to Alderney and is part a wider phased strategy to develop resilience for the island. It builds on the establishment of the new ambulance service, which became operational in April last year,” he said.
“I am delighted to welcome the new volunteer Emergency Responders to the team. They have all demonstrated a desire to make a difference in their community, and with their training, new skills and equipment they will be a valuable asset to the island.”
