Martina Fitzgerald

I consider myself to be very lucky to have a variety of career paths in turn obtaining an extensive array of transferable skills.

My work has always been people centred this is what excites me and drives my passion to be successful.

My voluntary work in the past has been a great satisfaction and gives me a sense of pride to be able to help and make a difference, from supporting victims of crime to raising funds to purchase a defibrillator.

My current role as a Community first responder for West Midlands Ambulance service finds me dealing with extensive array of people in a variety of situations. Always being ready to deal with the good, bad and unexpected. The need for reactive intentions with protocol regimes.

Working with victims of crime dealing with emotional and practical needs.

Risk assessments are paramount to keep you, service users and the company safe.

I am adaptive to different challenges in my life, a young carer for both parents, a single mother to 3 children and various work challenged from shifts to exposure to dynamic people from various backgrounds, which has broadened my mindset.

I describe myself as a good listener with an empathic attitude and a desire to interact with people for the best outcome.

My job, roles and responsibilities have allowed me to demonstrate that I am trustworthy.

I conduct myself in a professional manner and am proud to be representing my aims and intentions.
