Which ambulance career is for you? Working for the ambulance service isn’t just driving on blue lights and saving people’s lives. With more than 300 different job roles, a career here at NWAS could see you writing press statements, taking patients to healthcare appointments, answering NHS 111 calls, planning resources, developing applications, delivering projects, or of course, helping patients most in need. Finding the right role for you might not be easy (and unfortunately we don’t have all the answers) but with our quick quiz you might just get an idea of the type of ambulance career path that would suit you.How do you feel about uniforms? Just let me wear my own clothes! I look brill in a headset. Green is absolutely my colour. How squeamish are you? You can tell me about it, I’d just rather not see it. Biology is my favourite subject. I can’t even watch Casualty. Finish this sentence: I can get through a night shift if… I’m out and about seeing new people. I get to work with my favourite work friends. Night time is for sleeping! What sentence best describes you? I want to help people by giving them the care they need myself. I want to help people by listening to them and arranging the right care for them. I want to help people by making sure the service is able to give the right care. What does your ideal working day look like? I like the thought of a completely unpredictable day, not knowing where I’ll be going or who I’ll be seeing. I like ongoing pieces of work that might take me an hour, a day, a week or even months to deliver. I like routine so would want to know how my day is going to look, but with a little unpredictability. To what extent do you like working with patients? Love it! Not for me! Over the phone is perfect for me! What’s your ideal work location? In a bustling control centre with lots of people around. In an office or at home. Out on the road.
