Ambulance Care Assistants (ACA) will convey a range of people to and from outpatient clinics, renal dialysis, admissions and discharges following inpatient treatments. You often see the same patients on a regular basis and really get to know them. Some of your passengers will be anxious about their hospital visit and others may lead isolated lives.

You will ensure that they are safe and comfortable during the journey and that they arrive on time for their appointment ahead of time.

Other duties will include making sure that your vehicle is clean and tidy and keeping an accurate record of your journeys using a wireless device or via paper copy.

Parking available on site. Full training and uniform is provided. Private Medical Insurance is available after 12 months of service.

Interviews will be conducted online using Microsoft Teams. Those that are successful will then be invited to a selection day at our training centre in Thame.
