• Collaborate effectively with the multidisciplinary team to ensure coordinated and high-quality patient care
• Contribute to service development, clinical audits, and practice quality improvement projects
• Participate in teaching, mentoring, and training activities within the practice where appropriate

About You:

• HCPC-registered Paramedic with experience in primary care, urgent care, or emergency settings
• Qualified Independent Prescriber (V300) or willing to work towards this qualification
• Confident in autonomous clinical decision-making with excellent communication and interpersonal skills
• Committed to delivering compassionate, patient-centred care
• Enthusiastic about working in a training environment and contributing to the education of future clinicians

What We Offer:

• A supportive, friendly, and collaborative team culture
• Opportunities for ongoing education, supervision, and funded CPD
• Regular clinical meetings and peer support
• Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications
