Summary
General support staff will help support the logistics within the team. A wide variety of opportunities to help on an ad hoc basis.Detailed description
Who are the West Midlands CARE Team:
A pre-hospital critical care charity based out of Bournbrook fire station, responding to critically ill/injured on behalf of West Midlands Ambulance Service since the early 90s.
Why are we looking for more volunteers:
The team has always had clinicians covering non-clinical roles but as the team expands and clinicians' lives get busy with clinical commitments we've realised there is an opportunity to recruit non clinical volunteers to assist with the logistics of the team. We plan to apply for independent CQC status and with that application comes a review of our processes in which we want to take our organisational ability to the next level.
What are the roles:
Operational support staff; this would be ad hoc support to operations like moving a car for servicing, helping with equipment 6 monthly checks, checking the stock room at a regular interval that suits you, these are some examples of some of the tasks this type of volunteer could help with, ideally we'd love to recruit a number of these volunteers to share the load and ensure some resilience if some are at work, away on holidays, etc. All to suit you and work around your schedule, as and when you can.
What experience does one need:
None..
What is the commitment:
It probably averages out to maybe 1-2 hours per week with a lot of weeks requiring no assistance, it can be quite ad hoc.
