Ambulance Support Worker - (Apprenticeship)

We are looking for people who are confident, caring, compassionate and hardworking, with a genuine passion for making a positive difference to the lives of people across Yorkshire. The role requires flexibility, and you will be expected to work a variety of shifts, including days, nights, weekends and bank holidays.

This is a stimulating, rewarding and challenging role, and it is important to recognise that it is not a career path for everyone. No two shifts will ever be the same. You could find yourself responding to a road traffic collision involving patients with multiple serious injuries, or supporting the transfer of a critically ill baby to a specialist treatment centre.

As an Ambulance Support Worker, you will be a highly visible representative and role model for Yorkshire Ambulance Service. The way you communicate and conduct yourself is just as important as the care you provide. You will be expected to demonstrate professionalism, compassion and respect when working with patients, members of the public and colleagues.

As part of the role, you will be required to demonstrate and maintain a consistently high standard of emergency driving in accordance with UK national standards. You will also be required to successfully complete the Level 3 Emergency Ambulance Response Driving qualification, developing the specialist driving skills needed to safely respond to emergency incidents and transport patients.

Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) NHS Trust geographically covers nearly 6,000 square miles of varied terrain, from isolated moors and dales to urban areas, coastline and inner cities.

We serve a population of over five million people across Yorkshire and the Humber and strive to ensure that patients receive the right response to their care needs as quickly as possible, wherever they live.

We employ more than 7,100 staff, who together with over 1,300 volunteers, enable us to provide a vital 24-hour, seven-days-a-week, emergency and healthcare service.
