TCAA Crew Member

The Air Ambulance Service is an organisation steeped in the values of Courage, Creativity and Compassion. These have served us well over the years and are at the heart of everything we do. Since the charity’s first operational flight in 2003 our dedicated crews have attended nearly 45,000 potentially life-saving missions.

Every day our charity is tasked with a unique set of missions which we respond to with our fantastic services, all of which are funded entirely by voluntary donations, trading and fundraising activities we undertake. This ethos remains at our core; we are here to work alongside and help the NHS without using their available funds. The impact we make with our services is to keep people alive, keep families together, to let children grow into adults and to enable the NHS to carry out more work than they would have been able to without our support.

We also impact our communities by creating jobs, taking actions to improve the environment, bringing people together as volunteers and creating worthwhile training and experience opportunities.

The Charity leads the way in the delivery of critical care and inter-hospital transfers, but the hard work is never over. To provide essential support to the NHS and our communities, the organisation is currently implementing its latest five-year strategy designed to continually advance response and critical care services to patients

Our work is only made possible by the wonderful support and generosity of the public, together with the dedication, skill and enthusiasm of staff and volunteers in all areas of operation. This support enables us to invest into our operational services, into developing staff and volunteers and into our future financial stability to protect the services needed now and in the future.

An exciting new role has been introduced within The Children’s Air Ambulance (TCAA), as we continue to grow and develop our lifesaving service at London Oxford Airport

As a Crew Member, you will provide support to specialist neonatal and paediatric clinicians during TCAA transfers. You will receive a thorough induction and undergo a comprehensive training program.

Reporting to the Head of Operations for TCAA, you will be based at London Oxford Airport on a full-time basis (40 hours per week). The role attracts a salary in the region of £25,750 -£27,810 depending on experience and competence.

Whilst the Crew Member role is non-clinical and does not involve direct patient care, the role requires a clinical background to understand the importance of working as a multi-disciplinary team, working in a clinical setting, handling medical devices and to support the safe transfer of patients. You will act as the technical expert for the bespoke TCAA interior and stretcher system, so you can provide support and troubleshoot any issues should they arise. In addition, you will carry out tasks to ensure the aircraft and air base exceeds compliance requirements. You will also support with routine tasks on base along with allocated tasks by the Head of Operations.
