“No words can express my gratitude for what you did for me that day. I don’t think I’d be here now without the air ambulance. I know I was in a critical situation. I don’t have words enough to thank you” [Andre, TAAS patient]

The Air Ambulance Service has one simple objective, to save lives. Contrary to general belief, the organisation is not government funded and provides two very important functions, Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) and The Children’s Air Ambulance.

With a demonstrable ability to influence and engage at all levels, you should be known for your strong skills within stakeholder engagement and management. You should be confident translating the technical aspects of safeguarding into practical working practices, as well as be able to influence and challenge at a senior level. A confident self-starter, you should be a competent communicator committed to the cause of this fantastic organisation.

This role provides an opportunity to join an organisation in an invaluable capacity that will, quite simply, support the ambitions of the charity enabling more lives to be saved. The role is predominantly home-based, but will require the successful applicant to be able to travel to offices in Rugby when necessary.
