West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust
The Trust serves a population of 5.6 million people covering an area of more than 5,000 square miles made up of Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Coventry, Birmingham and Black Country conurbation.
As the region’s emergency ambulance service, we respond to around 4,000 ‘999’ calls each day. To manage that level of demand, we employ approximately 7,500 staff and operate from 15 fleet preparation hubs across the region.
We also provide non-emergency patient transport services across some parts of the region and Cheshire for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need. Our staff complete approximately 1,000,000 non-emergency patient journeys each year.
Why work for us? If you work for us there’s not only the job satisfaction of knowing that what you do makes a real difference to our patients in the West Midlands, but we offer a range of other great benefits too!
