Ambulance Care Assistants (ACA) will convey a range of people to and from outpatient clinics, renal dialysis, admissions and discharges following inpatient treatments.

As well as driving our Patient Transport service (PTS) vehicles, you will also be lifting and helping to move some of your patients in and out of the vehicle using the equipment provided. You will ensure that they are safe and comfortable during the journey and that they arrive on time for their appointment ahead of time.

Other duties will include making sure that your vehicle is clean and tidy and keeping an accurate record of your journeys using a wireless device or via paper copy.

Parking available on site. Full training and uniform is provided. Private Medical Insurance is offered after 12 months of service.

Interviews will be conducted online. Those that are successful will then be invited to a selection day at our training centre in Thame or Crawley.
