Ambulance Care Assistant in Colchester
on 23 September 2023
It is nice to help people.
The role of an Ambulance Care Assistant is to transport patients to and from their appointments, between hospitals and care homes. It can be challenging, getting everyone in on time for their appointments. This is a physical job, a lot of lifting and maneuver of patients in wheel chairs, on stretchers, and carrying people up and down stair cases, and in and out of the ambulance. The NHS East of E...

I now understand why the NHS is broken...
I Joined EOEAS full of hope and confidence that being a public sector NHS job it would be reasonably well managed, some good perks and have plenty of scope for career progression. Let me tell you, that is not the case! This was, without a doubt, the worst place I have ever worked in my 24 years of working life so far. I knew on day 1 I had made a dreadful mistake, and from then on it just got wor...

Great job. No home work life balance. Shifts changed at last minute notice. Not knowing what you are working more than 2 weeks in advance so cant plan a life. No welfare, no support, all training in your own time. Late or no meal breaks. Always late off. No consistency with shifts. Different crew mate everyday. Your just a number. Mostly sent to people who don't need a ambulance. Only decent thing...

Instructors take a lot of pride in what they do and believe in the job. Very approachable and will listen to any issues you have. When you go on the road, you can get some crews that are very patient and friendly and so...

Toxic, Nepotistic and dishonest.
EEAST struggles for staff, especially retaining them. As a result there is a bums on seat culture that promotes quantity over quality. From day one sat with people in training who didn't know what job they'd even applied for, to my last day being told that my safeguarding concerns were invalid, I knew this place didn't uphold the values it promotes.Wellbeing at EEAST is more about token gestur...
