We have a fantastic opportunity for Ambulance Care Assistants to join our team based in Burntwood, Staffordshire.

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.

- Paid holiday entitlement
- Full time contract (42 hour per week)
- NEST Pension contributions
- Monthly colleague recognition rewards

- Uniform provided

**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

- Pass an Enhanced DBS check (company funded)
- Be able to work flexible shifts
- Familiar with the local and surrounding area
