About the Role

42 hours per week

St. John Ambulance are looking for passionate people, wanting to make a difference to join their team of Emergency Ambulance Crew providing specialist critical care transfer services for neonatal, paediatric, and adults across the West Midlands. You will be working closely with specialist transport clinicians from the PaNDR (Paediatric and Neonatal Decision Support and Retrieval Service) and ACCTS (Adult Critical Care Transfer Service) teams. Using a fleet of modern bespoke C1 Ambulances you will be part of a team who deliver first class critical care transfer services to some of the most poorly patients, ensuring they receive the right care for their needs.

Successful candidates must either already have C1 driving entitlement on their licence or can prove that they are working towards obtaining it, have no more than 3 points on their driving licence, have a good level of general education and be willing to commit to 10 weeks residential training to become qualified Emergency Ambulance Crew, as well as undertaking Level 3 CERAD ambulance response driver training.

This is a demanding, challenging but highly rewarding role, which involves a variety of shift working, including days, nights, bank holidays and weekend working.

About You

To be considered for the role you must be educated to GCSE level and have excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate effectively at all levels. You should have a minimum of 12 months driving experience and hold a full UK driving licence with a maximum of three penalty points. All applicants must have a C1 on their licence. Those working towards this would be required to have it by an agreed start date. Candidates will need to have an enhanced full DBS check (which we provide) and complete a health check to ensure they are able to take up frontline work. This is a shift based role in a team that operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Shifts are 12 hours in duration and on a shift rotation basis. This is not a 9 to 5 role and will include rostered weekend, night and bank holiday working for which enhanced pay premiums are added.
