#WeAreEEAST  

Great healthcare requires great people. That’s why we are doing everything we can to recruit committed, skilled people – and to make sure we support our new and existing employees, so they choose to stay with us. 

Rated outstanding for caring by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), The East of England Ambulance Trust covers six counties - Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. We cover 7,500 square miles and serve a population in excess of 5.8 million people.  With such a diverse geographical area, we cover busy cities, rural locations and seaside resorts and our services are tailored to meet the needs of each community’s differing medical and environmental needs. 

We offer a great working environment and a comprehensive employment package – which ranges from professional support to benefits for you and your family. 

In return for your skill, commitment and energy, we offer a full induction programme, continuing professional development, and the opportunity to work with a highly dedicated team across the east of England. 

You will also have the chance to shape the service: our frontline clinicians and other colleagues have unique insights about how we can improve the quality of our care and our working environment.  

We’ll support you if you want to be involved in research aimed at improving patient care and safety. 

You will also have the chance to help us develop new referral pathways or to work in new roles or for other NHS organisations. We work closely with our commissioners to ensure that innovative ideas developed by Trust staff are tested out.
