Working for us

We are a national Service with a local feel. We have five operating divisions covering different regions of Scotland, all delivering a range of services from Accident and Emergency Service, through to Patient Transport Service. We employ over 4,000 staff working across Scotland. As well as roles directly related to patient care including those in our control rooms, Community Paramedics and volunteers, we employ people in a range of support departments.

Together, they all play a key part in making sure that we can respond to anyone needing our help 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Scottish Ambulance Service is committed to ensuring that with the appropriate knowledge, skills, training and education there are exciting career opportunities for all.

As a national service, covering all of Scotland, we are able to offer a rewarding career in all parts of the country, regardless of grade or department you work in. Almost 90% of our staff fulfill an operational role with the remainder in managerial and support functions.

The Scottish Ambulance Service is committed to supporting the principle of equal opportunities in employment and opposes all forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination on the grounds of race, disability, gender, age, sexual orientation, religious belief, trade union/professional organisation membership (or non membership), ex-offender status, health or physical characteristics.

Employees with a disability are welcomed for their abilities and the contribution they make to the Service. Our Equal Opportunities in Employment policy and Disability Equality Scheme (√√) support this commitment. The Service is committed to interviewing all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for a job vacancy and consider them on their abilities.

So whoever you are, if you have the drive and enthusiasm to work in our busy environment, please apply now.
