3 months ago

Plymouth, United Kingdom South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

The Ambulance Service Volunteer - HALO Helping Hands (HHH) role is an assistant to the Hospital Ambulance Liaison Officer (HALO).

We are looking for volunteers to support this new initiative within Plymouth, Devon (Derriford Hospital)

The aim of the HALO is to manage the smooth transition of patients from the incoming ambulance crews into the care of hospital teams. They also aim to get the ambulances turned round so they are available for the next emergency call without delay. This is a critical role in the operational efficiency of the organisation and is directly related to patient safety.

South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust offers volunteer placements across the organisation with both patient facing, and non-patient facing roles. This role description summarises the HALO Helping Hands volunteering role and will be supported by local inductions specific to the tasks applicable at that hospital.

The role is non-patient facing (does not deliver clinical care / assessments to patients), however some patient contact is required through engagement, supporting Ambulance crews and their patients on arrival at hospital, and whilst awaiting off-loading.

As a HHH volunteer you are a valued member of our service, supporting our organisation to deliver its mission, vision and uphold our values, willingly and without pay. This role is highly rewarding and offers opportunities to meet new people and learn valuable social and lifesaving skills through the training.
