Toby Jacques from Newbury attended a virtual recruitment open day in January 2021 and is now employed as an emergency care assistant with SCAS.
"I really enjoyed getting to know more about South Central Ambulance Service from the virtual event and it was great to be able to listen to staff talking about what it's really like to do the role I was interested in.
"There were some great hints and tips in how to improve your application form and how best to prepare for your interview and assessment - which definitely worked as I started my new job at SCAS in June last year!"
Pamela Putt, Assistant Head of Resourcing at South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, said:
"SCAS is one of the best performing emergency ambulance services in the country, as well as being relied upon over the last few years to provide the national pandemic response service in addition to our NHS 111 service. We are also the biggest provider on non-emergency patient transport services in England.
