- Ensuring that the ambulance is kept safe, clean and tidy

**To be considered as an ACA, you will need to be**:

- Discounted high street benefits
- Work-based flexibility
- Access to our employee assistance programmes for wellbeing support

**Training**

We are committed to colleague development and will invest in your training which includes First Aid and also provides you great opportunities to develop your career, skills and experience through a variety of training programmes.

On joining E-zec, you will have two weeks of paid training that will cover a range of courses like safeguarding, infection control, health and safety, manual handling and many more.

Our aim is to equip you with all the skills and training you need to become a fully competent ACA, so if you are looking to grow your career within an organisation who really care, we would love to hear from you
