Miss the crew room and office chats?
Working for the ambulance service can be stressful and we know from a systematic review of the evidence that employees want more time at work to look after themselves and their colleagues.
To build on this evidence we invite all SWASFT employees (from all roles) to express interest in joining a focus group (or one to one interview if preferred) where you can share your opinion and thoughts about why some colleagues are happy to ask for help from organisational support services and why some are not. This information will be used to help minimise any barriers and to enhance any facilitators to ambulance staff accessing support when needed.
All employees are invited to participate in this study, regardless of their job role, as all staff can be affected by what they see, hear, and read at work. We particularly welcome staff who wouldn’t use organisational support for themselves but would be happy to talk about the topic to help support their colleagues.
Participants will be invited to join a group of peers to discuss why some employees are happy to seek support for mental health and wellbeing and why some are not.
For further information and to express your interest, visit the opportunity webpage.
Expression of interest deadline: 17th November 2024
