Job description

Overview

At EEAST we expect our clinical workforce to deliver the very best care to our patients with the support of a dedicated team of clinical staff, volunteers, call handlers, dispatchers and support staff. Paramedics will routinely work with other allied health professionals in partnership organisations in both hospital and community-based services to ensure timely referrals and discharge. A shift on an ambulance is like no other workplace. You will operate in a wide range of environments, across both urban and rural areas, managing everything from birth to end of life, chronic conditions to critical illness or injury. Tablets are issued to all permanent clinical staff; these allow access to electronic patient care records, up-to-date clinical guidelines, incident management and alternative care pathway applications.

Upon successful completion of your application and pre‑employment checks you will be invited to attend a two‑week induction at one of our Education Training Centres followed by a supportive local induction at your allocated locality. During the training course it is your responsibility to attend in full, on each day. Accommodation and travel expenses will not be provided; you will need to consider the costs and travel expense of attending. Where possible candidates will be allocated to the training centre nearest to their operational base.

Qualifications and Application Requirements

To apply you must be a HCPC registered Paramedic, if applicable you must also have fully completed a Newly Qualified Paramedic consolidation programme; evidence of this will be required. You will also be expected to provide a portfolio detailing your experience of working within the emergency ambulance service or primary healthcare setting. Applicants are expected to have an existing full C1 licence. An Emergency Response Driving Qualification certificate is desirable.

Candidates who require a Skilled Worker visa to work in the United Kingdom can determine the likelihood of obtaining a Certificate of Sponsorship for this position by assessing their circumstances against the criteria specified on the Check if you need a UK visa – GOV.UK website. We encourage all applicants to review these criteria carefully to understand their eligibility for sponsorship.
