Life at St John

Why work for us

Our values

At St John Ambulance Queensland, our values are the foundation of everything we do — they guide our decisions, shape our culture, and connect us to the communities we serve. In an organisation built on compassion, service, and trust, our values are more than just words; they reflect who we are, how we treat one another, and how we deliver care to those in need. They create a shared sense of purpose across our diverse workforce and volunteer network, ensuring that regardless of role or location, we are all aligned in our commitment to serve with Humanity, Excellence, Respect & Integrity, Diversity, and Collaboration. By living our values every day, we strengthen our culture, deepen community impact, and ensure we remain a trusted and respected organisation for generations to come.

Humanity

The generous quality of human nature. Being humane and kind, compassionate and sympathetic, respecting all people. 

Excellence

The quality of being outstanding. Excellence means greatness – the very best. 

Respect & Integrity

Having due regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others. Being honest, transparent and having strong moral principles. 

Diversity

The practice or quality of including or involving people from a range of different social and ethnic backgrounds and of different genders, sexual orientations. 

Collaboration & Innovation

Collaboration in the workplace is about people working together. And through cooperation, explore something new; a new idea, approach, method, or device that will achieve the team’s goals.
