Volunteer Ambulance Drivers should be flexible with their time and able to respond to a range of situations. You’ll need excellent personal skills and should be able to communicate with people from a range of backgrounds. Volunteer Ambulance Drivers must be able to follow correct procedures and understand instructions well.
