NETS - Ambulance Person
Hi,
I’m currently working as a 999 call handler for LAS but want to move out to the road eventually.
I have a manual driving license and I really would like to start with NETS as an Ambulance Person which is the official role title.
I was just wondering for any NETS workers in LAS or other Amb services - how it works.
- What does the rota look like?
- What are the shift patterns are considering working hours are 0700am to midnight
- Can you do overtime?
- What does career progression look like if you stay in NETS and don’t do AAP
- How many jobs per shift and does dispatch make you leave your shift later than usual?
- Any cardiac arrests whilst picking up the patient or any very difficult jobs? Plus are you on your own or do you have a crew mate?
Many thanks for any tips or advice.
