What do you do?
My role at North East Ambulance Service is to safely transport patients to and from care settings such as hospitals and day centres. I work with a wide range of people of different ages and backgrounds which is very interesting.
At 19 I started to think about a long-term career and decided to go to a careers adviser. We spoke about the ambulance service and she told me about an apprenticeship scheme they run. I was successful with my application and started a couple of months after that.
After completing the one-year apprenticeship, I was successful in gaining a full-time position. I’ve been here three years now and love it!
I get a lot of enjoyment from being able to have a positive impact on what can be a daunting experience.
