Ambulance Support Worker – Apprenticeship Standard

 

Who is this apprenticeship standard for?

This apprenticeship is ideal for those taking their first steps in an emergency and urgent care role, supporting registered and non-registered healthcare professionals in a non-clinical capacity. This could include driving an ambulance while a paramedic looks after the patient or transporting non-critical patients.

 

Programme Structure

With the mandatory qualifications included, this apprenticeship will take approximately 13-18 months to complete. During this time the apprentice will learn about patient care, safely driving ambulance vehicles, assisting with delegated clinical tasks and interventions alongside soft skills such as working as part of a team, effective communication and conflict resolution.

With the Knowledge, Skills and Behaviours (KSBs) gained through this standard, successful apprentices will be competent and job ready as an Ambulance Support Worker.
