Ambulance Care Assistant

1 month ago

Watford, United Kingdom East of England Ambulance Service Trust Full time

We are currently looking for enthusiastic and passionate Ambulance Care Assistants to transport our patients, who are frail or need specialist assistance, to and from appointments at hospitals, treatment centres and other similar facilities.

We can offer you a 3-week paid training course. You would need to be available to attend a training on a full-time basis over a period of 15 workings days. Clinically trained to standards that allow you to be competent as a ‘First Person on Scene’, patient transport driver training, and a full uniform. Every day is different as an ACA and you could really make a difference to our patients.

During the training course it is your responsibility to attend in full, on each day. Accommodation and travel expenses will not be provided so you will need to consider the costs and travel expense of attending these venues. As an example Barton Mills and Chelmsford. You MUST be able to commit to undertaking the training course as outlined above.

No two days are the same in the role of Ambulance Care Assistant. If you enjoy a challenge and delivering the best care possible for people, then the Ambulance Care Assistant role may be for you.

You will need a drivers licence. Please note that a maximum of 3 penalty points will be considered for a minor motoring offence only. If you have more than 3 penalty points on your licence, there will be no exceptions to this rule and you will not progress any further through the recruitment and selection process.

1. Maintain an appropriate level of care for patients, relevant to their condition. This includes recognition of when additional skills or support may be needed.

2. Record, process and share information / paperwork regarding patient condition, care undertaken and observations to all appropriate healthcare partners.
3. Adhere to Trust policy in respect of the control of confidential information as outlined within the data protection act and the Caldicott principles.
4. Drive a range of vehicles in a manner appropriate to the patient’s condition and in accordance with Trust approved training criteria.
5. Complete all relevant operational documentation, e.g. daily routine vehicle checks, patient listings and other information in accordance with Trust policy and ISO9001:2008 requirements.
6. Maintain the vehicle in a sanitary condition in line with health & safety, clinical waste management, occupational health, ISO9001:2008 and clinical directorate guidelines.

7. Maintain clear and regular communication with the Ambulance Liaison Office and other Healthcare professionals / colleagues, in line with agreed protocols, e.g. ISO and Caldicott. Ensure that the needs of the patient are met and operational efficiency and effectiveness is maintained.
8. Assist patients in their homes, both prior to and after transportation, ensuring they have their basic needs catered for and their homes are safe. This includes measuring, highlighting and reporting areas of risk in line with Trust risk assessment procedures.
9. Physically manoeuvre and / or lift patients, including the use of Trust supplied carrying aids, in circumstances where patients are unable to manage alone, after undertaking a manual handling risk assessment e.g. up and down stairs and within restricted spaces.
10. Ensure that patients are taken to and collected from the agreed treatment area within the hospital or centre in a timely basis.
11. Provide any clinical assistance to the authorised level of competence in all circumstances that require it.
