  • Transfer patients from beds to stretchers, chairs to chairs or similar both in and out of hospital and medical/commercial flights.
  • Assisting service users with challenging behaviour and/or mental health illnesses
  • Ensuring that the ambulance is kept safe, clean and tidy

To be considered as an ACA, you will need to be

  • Committed to patient care
  • An effective communicator and experience of communicating with others in what can often be emotional circumstances
  • To be a calm, considerate, careful driver, with no more than three penalty points on your license
  • To have a natural flair for team working and collaboration
  • Be physically fit for patient handling and moving
  • Pass an Enhanced DBS check (company funded)
  • Be able to work flexible shifts
  • Familiar with the local and surrounding area

What benefits can you expect?

  • Life Assurance providing colleagues and their family financial peace of mind and protection to the value of £5,000.
  • 24/7 online/telephone GP Consultation and access to prescriptions.
  • 2nd opinion medical support following diagnosis or where a colleague is on a treatment pathway.
  • Cashplan benefits, providing colleagues the option of protecting themselves in case of illness and recuperation, including dental, optical, chiropody.
  • Unlimited mental health consultations.
  • Unlimited physiotherapy consultations.
  • Access to legal advice on domestic issues e.g. motoring offences, wills and probate, and personal injury.
  • Financial guidance re retirement planning, tax savings and state benefits.
  • Long Service Recognition Scheme recognising colleagues for their continued service after 5 years and at 5year intervals with an increase in annual leave.
  • Valuesbased Internal Recognition Scheme with financial reward, which will lead to an annual recognition event.
  • Refer a Friend recruitment incentive scheme with financial rewards_._
  • The EMED foundation, to provide support to colleagues and our local communities.
