YorkshireAir Ambulance is anindependent charity dedicated to saving lives across the vast and diverse communities of Yorkshire.

Operating from bases near Wakefield and Thirsk, we provide advanced, rapid-response emergency critical care to those in urgent need-whether in remote rural areas, busy urban environments, or at the scene of serious incidents on the region's roads and motorway networks.

The charity brings advanced life-saving treatment and interventions directly to patients, often making a critical difference in those vital first moments following an accident or medical emergency.

Unlike many emergency services, Yorkshire Air Ambulance receives no direct government funding for our day-to-day operations and relies entirely on the generosity of the public and supporters to remain operational. Each mission is made possible through donations, fundraising initiatives, partnerships, and philanthropic contributions. This strong connection with the communities we serve lies at the heart of the organisation's ethos and ensures that every flight is powered by local support.

Programmed activities payable as per NHS consultant contract pay scale.
