Corporate Partnerships and Philanthropy Lead

Your new Company

Midlands Air Ambulance Charity is one of the busiest and most recognised air ambulance services in the UK. For over 30 years, they have been saving lives across Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the West Midlands, providing pre-hospital critical care to some of the most seriously ill and injured patients.

They operate three air ambulance helicopters and a fleet of critical care cars, responding to an average of 4,500 missions every year. Their highly skilled clinical teams deliver hospital-level treatment at the scene, giving patients the best possible chance of survival and recovery.

As a charity, they receive no direct Government or NHS funding for their daily operations and rely on the generosity of their supporters, volunteers, and partners. Every mission is only possible thanks to the commitment of their people and the communities they serve.

Joining Midlands Air Ambulance Charity means becoming part of a passionate, professional, and supportive team that is dedicated to making a real difference, every single day.
