Having a career in Ambulance can be like having 10 or more different careers over the course of a lifetime, with each career path suited to your current interests and work/life balance requirements.

"I enjoy the opportunity to pursue other interests such as travel and sport. Ambulance allows me to do that, while also developing my career.

I've had the privilege of meeting some amazing people and I get to work with some of my best friends." This job doesn't end when your shift finishes - the friendships you make will carry on over the course of a lifetime.
