About the Role

The Ambulance Care Assistant 2 role is the first step in a rewarding career within the ambulance service. You’ll be the person patients meet when they need safe and compassionate transport, whether that’s for routine appointments or urgent hospital care. Every day will look different, and your actions will directly influence how supported and reassured people feel in vulnerable moments.

This isn’t just a driving role. You’ll provide hands-on patient care, maintain dignity, and ensure comfort during transfers. You’ll work as part of a close-knit team where communication, quick thinking, and empathy matter just as much as clinical skill. And with a clear training pathway, you’ll have opportunities to grow into more advanced clinical positions if that’s where your career takes you.
