  • Hi Martin

    Are there any other routes into the job you want?   Are there any similar jobs where you will be able to pass the tests?   

    Can you build the qualifications individually on a part-time basis?

    Do you have a Plan B?

    I have thought about work in the ambulance and just need some experience and have got funeral care as the plan b but this is not the job  i want nervelessly it is an option if i have to take it, i can get the qualification but i do not have the patients or confidence to do so, do you have any suggestions

    Funerals will always be a growth industry - great money if you look good in black  Smiley.

    Where are you with your qualifications?   I'd guess there's a split between ambulance workers - some will be doing the pick-up / drop-off daily stuff where other will be out with the blue lights flashing - is that where you see yourself?

    I watched some youtubes recently about an ex-police pursuit officer - he was always on the scene first dealing with all sorts of human trauma - until the job broke him.

    I'm not sure I could ever do that job - but I was a first responder at work - a glorified first-aider - mainly cuts, scrapes & falls..

    Don't give up your dream, my cousin has been working as an Ambulance driver for about 6-7 years now and he's in his mid 50's, his dad was a driver and he wanted to follow him but didn't have the qualifications so did loads of jobs DJing, driving until he get qualified
