Why work for Great Western Air Ambulance Charity?

When you work for Great Western Air Ambulance Charity, you feel part of something special. By the time you come into work in the morning, our crew may well have saved the life of someone you know, someone living in your local community.

From fundraisers to highly skilled paramedics and senior consultants, we are a team, working to save lives that would otherwise be lost. The job can be high pressure, but it is deeply satisfying, and every member of the team is committed to this service, and to saving as many lives as we can.

We pride ourselves on being an excellent employer – with only 15 employed staff we are small enough to feel like a family, but as we raise £3m a year to keep our service running, we are large enough to have a professional set-up and invest in our team members.

Although we think the biggest perk to working with us is knowing you are helping to save lives*, there are some other benefits for our employees:

25 days annual leave, plus Bank Holidays, plus a day off near your birthday and at Christmas (non-contractual)

A 35 hour working week, with the option to pick your working hours between 8am and 5.30pm, Monday to FridayA friendly, open plan office with as much tea and coffee as you can drink (we know what’s important)*

Free car parking, and access to pool cars, courtesy of Smart Bristol, for work trips*

Pension contributions of up to 4% of eligible earnings

Laptop and smart phone for relevant roles

The chance to go to new places, meet interesting people and have experiences that you wouldn’t otherwise have!*
