- 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
- 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
