Western Medical Services is seeking ADHOC/Self Employed PMVA trained Ambulance Care Assistants, and Emergency Care Assistants to support our growing mental health transport provision across Devon, Cornwall and Somerset
We’re building a service that prioritises safety, dignity, and continuity of care for some of the most vulnerable individuals in our communities. Our aim is simple: deliver care that is calm, compassionate, and clinically appropriate, every time.
Whether you’re already experienced in this field or looking for a meaningful new direction in patient care, we’d love to hear from you.
Opportunities available across:
Devon, Cornwall, and Somerset.
We’re looking for people who:
• Hold current PMVA (or equivalent) training in de-escalation and physical intervention
• Are qualified as Ambulance Care Assistants or Emergency Care Assistants
• Have experience in mental health, emergency care, or community-based support
• Are 21 years or older
Why join us?
At Western Medical Services, we invest in our people. All successful applicants will be offered free access to our Safer Handling and PMVA training, because we believe education is essential, not only for patient safety but for protecting and supporting our staff in the field. You’ll be joining a service that values clear communication, proper clinical oversight, and a supportive work environment.
At Western Medical Services, we are committed to changing the narrative around secure transport. Through consistent training, compassionate leadership, and trauma-informed care, we are proud to report a current restraint rate of just 4.2% across all mental health journeys.
This is a direct result of the patient-centred culture we’ve built, where communication, de-escalation, and respect are at the core of everything we do. We don’t view restraint as routine. We see it as a last resort, and we’re proving that it’s possible to deliver safe care without force.
