West Yorkshire, United Kingdom Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust Full time

An Ambulance Support Worker (ASW) responds to emergency calls alongside a paramedic, helping them to provide patients with potentially life-saving care and, where needed, getting patients to hospital. They attend every kind of accident and emergency, sometimes covering considerable distances, using expert emergency driving skills to get to the scene with the greatest speed possible.

The role of ASW can provide an excellent opportunity to further develop a career in healthcare and within Yorkshire Ambulance Service. You will be required to undertake a Level 3 Ambulance Support Worker Apprenticeship. This is a nationally recognised qualification that demonstrates your operational competency in the care field. Following successful completion of this it will enable you to benefit from career progression within the Trust, including development opportunities to become a HCPC registered paramedic.

This vacancy covers locations in East Yorkshire only.

This is a stimulating and challenging role, but it is not for everyone. We need people that are confident, caring, compassionate and hard-working; you will be as passionate as we are about making a positive difference to the people of Yorkshire.

No two shifts will be the same; you might respond to a road accident victim with multiple severe injuries or be required to transfer a very sick baby to a specialist treatment centre.

As an Ambulance Support Worker, you will be a highly visible role model, not only in respect of what you do, but also in the way you conduct yourself with our patients, the public and colleagues

We employ more than 7,100 staff, who together with over 1,300 volunteers, enable us to provide a vital 24-hour, seven-days-a-week, emergency and healthcare service.

**Our values**: Compassion, One Team, Integrity, Innovation, Empowerment, Resilience are at the heart of all we do.

**What we can offer you**:

- Great staff networks, including LGBTQ+, Disability and BME
- 27 days annual leave, increasing to 33 with service plus bank holiday entitlement
- Sell annual leave scheme
- Contributory Pension
- NHS Discounts
- Car lease and other salary deduction schemes
- Dedicated employee assistance and counselling service

Please see the attached Job Description and Person Specification for full details of the job and personal requirements.

You must have 3 GCSEs at grade 4/C or above including Maths and English Language or Level 2 Functional skills, including English and Maths. ** Please note you will be required to evidence certificates for your qualifications at the interview stage.**

Training courses are located across Yorkshire.
