Ambulance trust jobs at risk in bid to save £5m
The trust confirmed that the redundancies would not impact front-line clinical roles
The ambulance service in the South West has announced up to 40 jobs could be at risk in a bid to save millions of pounds.
The South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (SWAST) said its Corporate Support Services had to save £5m in 2025.
Therefore, the service had entered into a period of consultation, which the trust confirmed could result in up to 40 redundancies.
The trust said: "We're hoping this number may be reduced by supporting employees into redeployed roles where possible."
