Our Ambulance service Driver Team provides cover 24 hours a day, seven days/nights a week, including all bank holidays .

Clean driving licence.

Professional and courteous at all times, you will need to be able to think on your feet and have a practical approach to problem solving as no two situations are the same.  The role can be busy with calls, especially in the spring and summer, and cover a wide variety of animals and wildlife, from stray dogs and RTC cats through to injured and trapped wildlife.  

 Some calls can be managed by the provision of information over the phone, whilst others necessitate attendance at the scene and potentially the transporting of the animal for treatment and care at the Shelter or through our vet partner.  

 Sadly, not every call has a happy ending but knowing that we are there to help animals and wildlife in their hour of need is important to us.

 Training will be provided by experienced members of our team, but previous experience with and a love of animals will be a distinct advantage.  

Will be discussed at Interview.
