Full job description

£2,030 per month / £24,380 per year - minimum guaranteed | URGENTLY REQUIRED
Full-Time | Permanent | Responding On-Call
Support people at their most vulnerable in a dynamic transport role. No ambulance or patient transport experience required – full specialist training provided.

We also welcome applicants from backgrounds such as Support Worker, Healthcare Assistant, Mental Health Support Worker, Patient Transport, security, police and custodial roles, or customer-facing roles.

Already applied for a SSGL Medical role in the last 12 months? No need to apply again.

About the role

SSGL Medical is recruiting new team members to support our expanding secure mental health patient transport service.

This is a full-time, permanent role offering guaranteed income, structured training, and the opportunity to work in a specialist healthcare environment supporting vulnerable individuals experiencing mental health crises.

You will work as part of a small, professional team providing calm, compassionate and dignified transport for service users — many of whom are detained under the Mental Health Act.

Within our service, this role is commonly known as an Ambulance Care Assistant working in secure mental health transport.

Before applying

This role involves long and sometimes unpredictable journeys, including overnight work and national travel supporting individuals experiencing mental health crisis.

Applicants must be comfortable spending extended time on the road and working flexible hours as part of a small professional team.

Who this role suits

We are open to applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, as full training is provided. This role may particularly suit people currently working as:

Mental Health Support Workers
Healthcare Assistants (HCA)
Support Workers
Patient Transport staff
Security, police, or custody professionals
Emergency services or public service roles

It may also suit individuals looking to move into a specialist mental health patient transport role supporting people during vulnerable moments.

What the role involves

Secure transport of service users across the UK
Supporting individuals experiencing mental health crises
Building rapport and providing reassurance throughout journeys
Working in a team, alternating between driving and supporting the service user
Short local and longer national journeys to safely collect and deliver service users
Dynamic risk assessment and calm decision-making throughout transport

Most journeys are non-confrontational, calm and conversational, supported by strong training and on-road mentorship.

Working pattern

On-call 5 days a week (occasionally finishing in the early hours of your last day)
At least two weekends off per month (available as overtime if desired)
On-call from home (day and night)
When called, you must be able to reach base within 30 minutes
Flexibility is essential — this role is not 9–5. It involves being on call for 24 hours a day, with protected rest once you have worked a certain number of hours

Essential requirements

Please apply only if you meet all of the following:

Able to reliably commute to Barnsley (S72) within 30 minutes
Full UK manual driving licence held for over 12 months
Over twenty-one (insurance requirement)
No more than 6 points and no DR/DD convictions
Comfortable working unpredictable hours, including overnight
Willing to undergo an Enhanced DBS check
Able to remain calm under pressure and work with vulnerable people

Training & support

Full specialist training is provided, including:

A full, extensive Mental Health training programme
First Aid at Work & Basic Life Support
Manual handling and ambulance induction
Ongoing mentorship and development

Pay & benefits

Guaranteed minimum retainer: £24,380 per annum (before any overtime)
≈ £2,031 per month guaranteed (PLUS £13.50 per hour for overtime)

This retainer is paid for being AVAILABLE on-call and covers any work you do up to 35 hours per week.

If you are not called out or do not reach the 35-hour threshold, you still receive the full retainer.

Additional benefits:

All additional hours paid as overtime
On-call from the comfort of home
Ambulance uniform and NHS partner ID
Career progression and continuous training

Employment status

The role initially operates on a self-employed basis (with guaranteed contracted income).

Full guidance and ongoing support are provided, including help with setup and tax returns.
