The Emergency Care Assistant (ECA) role at South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust offers an opportunity to provide critical emergency care within the community under the supervision of clinicians. As an ECA, you will respond to 999 calls, treating various medical emergencies such as wounds, fractures, and assisting in childbirth, all while working in a team at a local ambulance station. No prior medical experience is required, as successful candidates will undergo comprehensive training to build their confidence and competence before joining frontline operations.

The position includes a supportive preceptorship program and career progression opportunities, including a pathway toward becoming a Paramedic. Additionally, ECAs can expect enhancements for evening and weekend shifts, as well as the chance to obtain a funded C1 Driving Licence for those in specific areas. Applicants will go through an assessment day that involves physical and communication exercises, and upon success, will enter a holding pool for placement in available positions.
