Would you like to work within a high performing and motivated team of pilots, delivering HEMS to the people of London?
Our vision is to bring hope to every one of our patients across London, when they need us most, where they need us most. When patients in London suffer life-threatening traumatic injury, only our teams can provide them with the help they need, performing innovative medical procedures to save lives.
London's Air Ambulance have a small team of pilots who are dedicated in maintaining high standards of aviation in order to deliver HEMS to the people of London. We have recently changed our fleet to the EC135 T3H modernising our multi-pilot aviation environment.
During the summer, the longer daylight hours allow us to start earlier and end later, running two shifts each day. We are recruiting for summer contractor pilots to help us run our life saving service from March-September 2026.Suitable candidates must hold a UK CPL (H) + IR with circa 1000 flight hours and be available to commence training in January 2026.It would be advantageous if you have current or previous EC135 type rating.
Our flights are short and mostly within the busy airspace of London, landing and delivering clinical teams to scene, with safety as our top priority. Where situations allow, once landed and shut down, pilots help clinical crews with logistics and also act as ambassadors for the charity.
