Bio:
Having helped to lead this Branch for the past 12 years from very humble beginnings through to recognition and our membership increasing ten times to what it was at the start, I felt I needed a new challenge. I now work permanently for the GMB and am very lucky to have this Branch as part of my remit within the NHS.

Bio:
I began my Ambulance Service career in Manchester on PTS in 1996 and started as an EMT in 2001, transferring to EEAST in 2008. After 16 years as an EMT, then SEMT, I became a Paramedic and first registered in 2017. I joined GMB in 2018 after becoming disillusioned with the 'other' Union in EEAST and became a Workplace Organiser/'Rep' in 2020. As Workplace Organisers we can advise you on hearings, disciplinaries and other employment & work-related matters. We can support you if needed or accompany you to make sure Management stick to the rules and policies.  Remember you’re only a false allegation away from losing your income or reputation and only as a member of GMB can you call on GMB Reps and Unionline Legal Services to fight the injustices I unfortunately see all the time. You insure your car, your house and your life… Being part of a Union means you’re insuring the job that pays for all that!

Bio:
Hi I'm Kieran.  I've been employed by EEAST for 6 years.  I am on my Student Paramedic pathway, based in East Suffolk. In my time with EEAST I have worked in Patient Transport in Suffolk, and the Norwich control room as a call handler before moving out on to the road when I joined the SAP pathway. I enjoy new challenges and helping others suceed as well as advising and guiding people.  I am looking forward to my new journey with the GMB. In my spare time I enjoy family days out with my partner and children, particularly going to the zoo or swimming.
