Newly Qualified Paramedic

Job overview

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.

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 are not able to accept applications for bank positions at this time.

Please note there is currently limited availability within the Bristol and Gloucestershire areas.  If you apply for a position within these areas you will be placed into our holding pool and we are unable to provide a timescale as to when you may be offered a position.

Main duties of the job

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.’
