Newly Qualified Paramedic inTrustwide inTrustwide PUBLISHED
WED 20 NOV 2024
Candidates must possess the necessary UK driving requirements and HCPC registration, with applications welcomed from both overseas candidates and those graduating in 2024. The service covers a diverse geography, including rural and urban areas, aiming to enhance patient care by treating more individuals closer to home. The position requires full disclosure of any criminal convictions due to its exemption from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974.
Join us and you'll find an Ambulance Service that understands the better we look after you, the better equipped you'll be to look after our patients. We listen and work with our staff to ensure a progressive, clinically advanced service which takes account of feedback, organisational learning and provides staff with the equipment and support necessary to help them fulfil their demanding roles.
Our commitment to supporting our staff is by our dedicated clinical career framework, which supports the career development of paramedics into specialist and/or managerial roles with many of our current staff in these roles having developed internally.
Interviews and assessments are scheduled at approximately 6 weekly intervals, and shortlisting will be done in line with this timescale. All candidates will be informed of the shortlisting decision, although this may be outside of the SWAST standard 4 week notification period.
Please clearly state in your supporting information section the categories currently listed on your driving licence and whether you are currently blue light driving trained.
We are currently recruiting overseas for this position for candidates that hold the necessary UK driving requirements and HCPC registration.
We also welcome applications from 2024 graduate paramedics. We are able to offer an enhanced supportive preceptorship programme to help develop your confidence as an autonomous professional, and support your continuous learning.
Our diverse geography which includes some very remote rural communities has driven our ambition to equip all our staff with the training, support and skills they need to deliver a higher level of care, enabling more of our patients to be treated closer to home and resulting in the lowest conveyance rate across the Ambulance Sector.
Geographically we are the largest ambulance service in the country, covering one fifth of the country including some of its most beautiful and life enriching locations. Whether you crave a coastal location, the best of the British countryside or the historic cities of Bath, Exeter, Bristol and Cheltenham to name but a few, our location provides the best of everything.
'This position is exempted from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. This means that you must declare all criminal convictions, including those that would otherwise be considered "spent" on a DBS Declaration Form available upon request.'
