Bristol Ambulance (Part of EMED Group) Job Opportunity
Bristol Ambulance (Part of EMED Group) have a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated Retrieval Care Assistant to join our team based in Aztec West, Bristol.

The Retrieval team operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and travels across the South West and Wales regions with Neonatal and Paediatric Intensive Care teams to stabilise and retrieve children and babies to specialist care units. The role entails long drives as an emergency response and assisting the intensive care teams on access and egress from hospital intensive care units.
You must have a positive can-do attitude and be conscientious about ensuring vehicles and equipment are maintained and thoroughly checked. This role would suit an emergency care assistant looking to obtain experience in an intensive care setting or may suit an experienced ECA who was previously frontline and now wanting a slightly slower pace of life!
