West Midlands Ambulance Service will be hosting the first careers open day of 2022 for anyone interested in Student Paramedic and Patient Transport Service roles.

The event will take place on Sunday 13th March between 10am-4pm at the Copthorne Hotel in Brierley Hill.

As well as hearing about different options and career routes at West Midlands Ambulance Service, the session will allow participants to learn more about the Student Paramedic role and about roles within the Patient Transport Service.

There will be opportunities for attendees at the event to get advice on the entry criteria and assessment processes, speak to the recruitment team, meet current staff and managers and ask questions regarding these roles. WMAS Recruitment Manager, Louise Jones, said:

“I’m delighted that the Trust is able to host its first open day of 2022 to promote the Student Paramedic and Patient Transport vacancies.

"At the event, attendees will be able to meet our staff involved in every element of the process from recruitment, to training to our operational colleagues.

"The team will be on hand to answer any questions that potential applicants may have and there will also be the opportunity to get advice on the assessment process as well as testing out our fitness equipment and seeing our operational vehicles.

"There is no need to book an appointment, please drop in at any time between 10am-4pm. I’m really excited to meet everyone who attends.”

The event will be a drop-in session, so no appointments will be required but if you’d like to register your interest you can do so by emailing recruitment@wmas.nhs.uk. Anyone who registers will receive additional information after the event from the Recruitment Team.
