Staff
After initially only employing just 1 member of staff we have grown to the extent that there are currently 33 members of staff employed at West Country Private Ambulance Service. All our staff are C.R.B checked and we are currently workin towards Investment in People.
We aim to keep our staff trained to the highest level of attainment and all the drivers are regularly assessed by The Devon Drivers Centre in Exeter.
Our aim is provide the highest level of service to all our customers and the training we provide is a step towards this.
Devon Driver Training Centre
All our staff are assessed before they are allowed to drive our ambulances and have a period of training before they are allowed to drive live.
Due to the new addition to our staff of a Paramedic, it is now important that we have drivers trained to be able to assist the Paramedic, one of the essential things is the ability to drive on blue lights and sirens, at the moment there are only a handful of people able to carry out this work. I am pleased to say that as from the 1st February 2009 all eligible staff will be trained in blue light driving by the Devon Driver Training Centre, (I must stress that when these drivers have been trained and they are on blue light work, they must arrive within the law of the land).
I am so pleased to have all our drivers assessed by the Driving Centre, it makes our drivers safer and competent.
