Ambulance care assistants and Patient Transport Service (PTS) drivers

Ambulance care assistants and Patient Transport Service (PTS) drivers take patients to and from hospital and other care settings and are part of the non-emergency ambulance service.
You need a good general education and a driving licence. A level 3 apprenticeship may be available in your area.  You need to be physically fit to lift, move and drive people, many of whom
are frail, in safety and comfort.  You need to be responsible, patient and keep a cool head in a crisis.   Contact your nearest ambulance service trust, which may have slightly different
requirements.

In BLMK that are two Ambulance Trusts that you can contact to see what is required and information on vacancies.
