If the answer is YES to any of the above, a job with Yorkshire Ambulance Service in our Emergency Operations Centres may just be the role for you

You would become part of a team delivering an invaluable service to the patients of Yorkshire. We are an ambitious and challenging organisation which has a passion for high quality patient care.

Whilst this work is completed, we will pay any reasonable and appropriate travel expenses incurred until your move to the expanded York Control Room.

If you are successful at the shortlisting stage of the process you will be invited to complete an online assessment, which you must pass to be offered an interview.

Please note, we ask that all those successful at interview are able to commit to 100% attendance on the initial training course. This course is a minimum period of up to 5 weeks followed by approximately 4-6 weeks mentorship period aimed to support you in your transition.
