Addlestone, Surrey, United Kingdom EMED Group Full time

We have a fantastic opportunity to serve your local community and join the Ambulance Service as part of our Ambulance crews based from our Addlestone location.

An Ambulance Service Care Assistant (ACA) is a hugely rewarding and fulfilling role in the local community.

Each day, you'll be helping someone in need, making their lives that little bit easier, and knowing that you make a difference to their day provides you with a real sense of achievement.

Your main responsibility will be transporting our service users to and from their medical appointments and between healthcare facilities.

This can be carried out as two-person crews or alone depending upon the patient's mobility, so it is vital to hold a full UK driving licence and to meet the physical demands of the job.

  • Paid holiday entitlement
- £22,684 per annum (based on 38 hrs per week). Any additional overtime is paid at £11.48 per hour.

  • Responsible for lifting, securing and helping service users in and out of the Ambulance
  • Assist with the handing over of patients to appropriate staff on arrival at treatment centres/hospital's or to family/friends at their homes.
  • 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

  • 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

  • Pass an Enhanced DBS check (company funded)
