In addition to working within a fantastic team environment, we provide a role specific training package and there are opportunities for career progression.

The Operational Support directorate, which includes Make Ready Services, is a dedicated and vital support team which assists our front-line paramedics in providing excellent care to people living in the East of England, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. As well as Make Ready it includes Fleet, Workshops and Clinical Engineering and provides a service supporting our operational colleagues across the 6 counties of the Trust - Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, and Suffolk.

As a Trust, EEAST has embarked on a transformation plan to ensure we can meet the challenges of the future. This includes commissioning the building and upgrading of a large number our main ambulance stations (hubs) across all six counties that we cover. The significant change involved in this transformation means it is an exciting time to join Make Ready Services with the prospect of new, remarkable working environments and improved, more efficient working practices due in the next few years.
