- 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?**
- Paid holiday entitlement
- NEST Pension contributions
- Apprenticeship learning opportunities for career development
- Monthly colleague recognition rewards
- Discounted high street benefits
- Access to our employee assistance programmes for wellbeing support
- Free uniform

**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.

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
