ECA's will routinely work alongside EEAST Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) and Paramedics but also expected to work closely with other Allied Health Professionals in partnership organisations in both hospitals and community based services.

A shift on an ambulance is like no other workplace. You will operate in a wide range of environments, across both urban and rural areas managing everything from birth to end of life, chronic conditions to critical illness or injury.

EEAST employs over 5,000 staff with a further 1,000+ volunteers who between them cover 7,500 square miles and care for a population of more than 6 million.

Our three control rooms in Bedfordshire, Norfolk and Essex handle more than 1 million 999 calls every year, over 2,500 calls a day.

We manage a fleet of over 1,000 vehicles including double staffed ambulances, rapid response cars, operational commander response vehicles, patient transport and support service vehicles.

The East of England works alongside 17 Acute Trusts with Accident & Emergency services and a Major Trauma Centre in Cambridge. Access is available to neighbouring MTCs such as those in London.

**Our core values**:

- Care - We value warmth, empathy and compassion in all our relationships
- Teamwork - Together as one, we work with pride and commitment to achieve our vision
- Quality - We strive to consistently achieve high standards through continuous improvement
