A late war (possibly even a stand down photo) of an ambulance driver/attendant. Five war service chevrons to the right sleeve cuff and a St John Ambulance Association badge to the breast pocket. Of interest in the peculiar ski cap badge being worn - a large 'A'; I've not seen that before.

From early 1940 ARP and Civil Defence vehicles could use the left headlamp as an identification marker (the right lamp had a blackout filter added and the left was initially to be entirely obscured). Lettered masks could be fitted over the headlamp to allow the Civil Defence Services and Police to identify vehicles during the blackout and at air raid incidents. The lettering was in white except for the FIRE which was in amber.
The below image is from Trico that manufactured the illuminated letters. The first set of lettered signs included: ARP - Directing Staff W - Air Raid Wardens FAP - First Aid Parties & Mobile First Aid Units A - Ambulance (stretcher cases) A CAR - Ambulance (sitting cases) R - Rescue Parties DC - Decontamination Squads RP/R - Repair Party - Roads RP/W - Repair Party - Water RP/G - Repair Party - Gas RP/E - Repair Party - Electricity M - Messengers SP - Stretcher Parties in the London CD Region FIRE - Fire Service P - Police Additional letters were added such as BTS for the Blood Transfusion Service, GPO for the General Post Office fixing telephone lines and GIS and GCU for Gas Identification Services and Gas Cleansing Units, respectively. Members of a Rescue Squad stand in front of their car and trailer packed with rescue gear. Likely to be early war going by the bluette overalls in evidence (but these were of course worn throughout the war).
If you happen to know the make and model of the vehicle, pop a comment below. A nice studio portrait of a WVS volunteer taken in 1943. She is wearing the green WVS beret with WVS Civil Defence embroidered badge, a WVS scarf and the overcoat with insignia on the sleeve - the county of Surrey below the WVS Civil Defence badge.
A fine study of an air raid warden in this photograph. Given the lack of any uniform except the helmet I would imagine it was pre- or early-war.
