Read the text

Matt is a paramedic. He works for the ambulance service. He works in a 999 medical emergency control center and drives an ambulance car.

In the control center he answers medical emergency calls. Sometimes people don't need an ambulance, they need medical advice. So Matt helps them.

When he's in the ambulance car, he drives to emergencies and helps people.

He says, ‘I love my job. I like helping people. I work many hours. I work day and night shifts. When I work a day shift, I normally work from 7:00 a.m. in the morning to 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. in the evening. And when I work night shifts, it's generally from 7:00 p.m. in the evening to 4:00 to 7:00 a.m. in the morning. I sometimes work late when there's a 999 call at the end of my shift.’

Because he works long hours and studies part-time at university, Matt doesn't have much free time. He says, ‘I enjoy spending time with my family. I have two young children Alexander and Ayla. So I have to balance studying and my children. I don't have a good work-life balance. I enjoy my job. It's just tiring. And the night shifts mean that sometimes I'm very tired on my days off’.
