Ambulance support worker - Apprenticeship Standard

Ambulance Support Workers respond to emergency (999), urgent and or/unscheduled care calls from the public and/or wider health and social care communities to provide care and clinical support to individuals of all ages within an agreed scope of practice and outside of a multi-disciplinary hospital team, or provide scheduled non-urgent transport for people with specific health needs. You will transport them, as required, to (and from) specified treatment centres and other locations which may be very remote settings, driving safely and at progressively high speed as appropriate, and also have the responsibility of managing a vehicle. You will work as part of a double ambulance crew either alongside a more senior member of staff such as a Paramedic or Associate Ambulance Practitioner, or with another non-registered Ambulance Support Worker; for some non-urgent care you may work alone. You are required to work in a wide range of settings and environments both inside and outside including, in some cases, uncontrollable environments assisting individuals at the scene. Clinical duties vary accordingly. Often you will be supporting and assisting the senior clinician and in cases where patients deteriorate you will provide basic level of life saving techniques.
