About the Role

The Ambulance Care Assistant (ACA) will play an important role in helping people receive the care they need.

As an ACA with G4S Patient Transport Services, you'll be transporting elderly, sick and vulnerable patients to their medical appointments and between healthcare facilities, whilst showing compassion in times of vulnerability.

  • Monitoring patient safety, welfare, comfort, and reassurance throughout transit, including assistance at their homes.

  • Maintaining vehicle and equipment hygiene.

  • Coordinating with the central control team for timely pickups and drop-offs.

  • Conducting patient and vehicle risk assessments alongside necessary documentation.
