Mum of six, Kate Ball initially started Mini First Aid in 2014 from her kitchen table in Leeds, offering high quality baby & child first aid classes to parents and carers. Demand grew and Kate saw the potential for growth, so she started franchising the business in 2015. In 2021, BBC Dragon’s Den star Sara Davies, also saw the huge potential in Mini First Aid and she came on board as an investor and adviser. Mini First Aid is now a multi-award-winning organisation and has almost 70 franchises nationwide.
Hi I’m Katie and a mum to 5 year old twin girls. I have worked as an operating department practitioner for over 20 years in both the NHS and private sector. I have been involved in many emergency situations within my work life, involving both adults and children. Being a parent myself, I realise how frightening it can be when dealing with poorly children, so I’d love to be able to take at least one bit of stress away from parents by arming them with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to deal with emergency situations.
Mini First Aid is expanding as our demand for classes continues to grow.
Mini First Aid are looking for dynamic confident individuals who would like to work with all ages and feel passionately about teaching first aid.
The business is family friendly allowing our franchisees to balance owning a business with family life.
Full training is provided at the beginning of your franchise and Mini First Aid continue to support their franchisees with professional development training throughout their franchise period.
