Hi there, I'm Luna.
I'm a bit like an AI, except instead of making pictures of people with 16 fingers, I can help you find the perfect course and uni.

You'll need skills to manage operational teams and activities. Learn more about a career in a senior position in the ambulance service, find out what it involves and what you’ll need to study and do to get a role.
The ambulance service has a clear structured career path and there are opportunities to progress once you’ve shown competency at your current level. With experience, you could progress to duty manager responsible for a call centre during a shift.
There’s also a fast-track programme, called the NHS leadership academy, to support employees looking to develop more quickly.
If you decide to stay in the management side of the ambulance service, you could ultimately become a chief executive.
Or you could move to the frontline and become an emergency care assistant, eventually progressing to paramedic.
Professional organisations you might join include UNISON and you could be a member of the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives, depending on your role.
