Yes, it might be the hoariest old recruitment headline for anything vaguely air-related,but in these fantastic roles with Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex we genuinely believe it's what you'll do. Plus it was either that or 'New Year, New High-Flying Career!!' (for the benefit of anyone playing Recruitment Cliché Bingo), so let's count ourselves lucky and cut swiftly to introducing this brilliant organisation.

Striving to deliver world-class, life-saving medical care all day, every day, the intrepid Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex team have been flying high and saving thousands of lives across South-East England for more than 30 years, and we’ve got fantastic opportunities for you to get on board. 

As an independent charity with strong support and even stronger demand for the service – last year alone they were called to help over 2,500 people in life-threatening conditions – they’re going from strength to strength and forging ahead with expansion plans, making it an exciting time to join the family.

 

Right now they’re seeking talented professionals for these four key positions, all working from their main Rochester Airport base:

Head of Governance & Compliance £38-44,000

Head of Brand & Marketing £35-40,000

Head of Communications £35-40,000

Database Manager £32,000

 

Why should you apply?

What makes this such an inspiring organisation to work for is that it really does feel like one big extended family, with a friendly and supportive culture that's much loved by those already there. And even if your role is more about taking to social media than the skies of the South East, everything you do ultimately has a direct impact on saving people’s lives, so it couldn't be more rewarding.

There are plenty more good reasons too, so click below to our Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex micrositefor the full details!
