- 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 E-zec, 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.
