So my hubby sent of for an application form for a job as an ambulance Driver/Care Assistant, anyways when the pack came back today it made me wonder why people just dont want jobs in this industry.
So if you want to apply for a job within the N.H.S, the same job as this advertised do you realise that after all tests/interiews etc your lookin at 6 months ?
Yeah from the closing dates, interviews, medicals, fitness training etc it can take upto 6 months to actually get a job.
Now I know they have to be strict and i know they have to vet everone but if it takes 6 months to actually get through the whole process is it any wonder why people actually give up and just work in a factory ?
Can I just add this job was for NON urgent care transport, like taking people for hospital appointments etc.

I know they need to be strict, but its not like this job is to be a brain surgeon is it
None will appoint without medical clearance - particularly for a job where you need to be "fit"
After that, I would be surprised if the fitness training wasn't part of the job anyway, and that people would only do this after they had been appointed...
