Job summary

We are scanning the skies for a Airdesk Operations Coordinator

As an Airdesk Operations Coordinator, you'll be at the forefront of our operations, serving as the vital link between our specialist NHS teams and our fleet of helicopters. Reporting to the Airdesk Team Leader, you'll be based at our Coventry Airport headquarters, with occasional travel to other operational sites.

This is not your average 9-to-5 job. Our service operates 24/7, 365 days a year, meaning you'll be part of a dedicated team working on a rota covering from 7am up until 2am. But the rewards are immense you'll play a crucial role in ensuring that our aircraft is effectively tasked and dispatched to respond to urgent medical needs.

Main duties of the job

Your responsibilities will include managing all aspects of a mission, from the initial request through to mission completion. This means working under pressure and multitasking are essential skills for success in this role. We're looking for someone with a high attention to detail and accuracy, who can maintain a positive and motivational outlook even in the most challenging situations.

Alongside providing outstanding service to our patients, NHS Clinical Partner Teams (CPT) and flight crews you will be required to provide other administrative support to the Airdesk Team Leader and Head of Operations.

This position would be ideal for those who have previously or currently working in an Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) or a Control Room (ie Ambulance, Police, Fire, etc)

About us

The Air Ambulance Service provides two very important functions, Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) and The Childrens Air Ambulance (TCAA) which provides paediatric transfers across the UK. Our objective is to save lives, utilising specialist pilots, doctors, and paramedics and with our work centred on saving lives, improving clinical outcomes and being able to react quickly and efficiently to emergencies.

We are at the forefront of innovative clinical care, and we challenge boundaries.

Every day our charity is tasked with a unique set of missions which we respond to with our fantastic services, all of which are funded entirely by voluntary donations, trading and fundraising activities we undertake. This ethos remains at our core; we are here to work alongside and help the NHS without using their available funds. The impact we make with our services is to keep people alive, keep families together, to let children grow into adults and to enable the NHS to carry out more work than they would have been able to without our support.

We also impact our communities by creating jobs, taking actions to improve the environment, bringing people together as volunteers and creating worthwhile training and experience opportunities.
