Ambulance Care Assistant

Ambulance Care Assistants, also known as Patient Transport Service (PTS) drivers or non-emergency ambulance drivers, play a vital role in the healthcare system. They are responsible for transporting patients who are not in an emergency situation but need help getting to and from hospitals, clinics, or day centres. This can include elderly patients, people with disabilities, or those receiving regular treatments such as dialysis or chemotherapy. The role involves supporting patients before, during, and after their journey, ensuring their comfort and safety, and sometimes assisting with mobility or using specialist equipment. Good communication and a caring attitude are essential, as is the ability to work well under pressure and as part of a team.
