Please only apply if you are able to work these hours.
About the role
If you're passionate about people and feel you want to make a difference at work, then consider a career with us.
An Ambulance Care Assistant (ACA) is a hugely rewarding and fulfilling role. 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 elderly, sick and vulnerable service users to and from their medical appointments and between healthcare facilities. This can be carried out as two-person crews or alone, so it is vital to hold a full UK driving licence and to have a good degree of physical fitness.
Other duties include
  • Assisting in the transportation of 'end of life' service users, ensuring a high level of empathy is present at all times
  • Building rapport by effectively communicating with patients and their relatives/friends
  • 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
  • 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.
  • Cash-plan 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 5-year intervals with an increase in annual leave.
  • Values-based 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.
  • Paid holiday entitlement.
  • Pension Scheme.
  • Blue Light Card.
  • Uniform provided.
  • EAP (Employee Assistance Programme) to support a range of health and wellbeing requirements.
  • Flu vaccination (through an internal campaign in Autumn/Winter)

Training
We are committed to colleague development and will invest in your training which includes First Aid and also provides you great opportunities to develop your career, skills and experience through a variety of training programmes. On joining EMED, you will have two weeks of paid training that will cover a range of courses like safeguarding, infection control, health and safety, manual handling and many more.
Our aim is to equip you with all the skills and training you need to become a fully competent ACA, so if you are looking to grow your career within an organisation who really care, we would love to hear from you
Our Values
Collaborative - we work as one team with a shared purpose to meet the needs of our patients, passengers, colleagues, customers, communities, and the planet.
Agile - We listen, learn and adapt to improve the business, each other, and ourselves.
Reliable - We do what we say we will do, we take responsibility and we behave with integrity.
Empowered - We are confident and committed to taking responsibility to deliver the highest quality service.

The exciting merger of ERS Medical and E-Zec Medical has enabled us to rebrand, therefore as a combined business we are now known as EMED Group. We are the largest Patient Transport and Care Partner to the NHS with more than 2,500 colleagues across 50 depots. Our ambition is to continue developing transport services that improve the health and wellbeing for people across our local communities by providing transport that supports patient care, community support, secure mental health and medical courier services.
