Hart Operative

Hazardous Area Response Team Paramedics

Band 6 (Section 2)

Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) is the generic term applied to staff recruited specifically to operate within the inner cordon or in hazardous environments. Individuals may be required to work in hazardous environments such as CBRNE or HazMat situations, structural collapses, complex entrapments, working at height or on or near water.

Hazardous Area Response Teams are expected to be able to operate in highly pressurised environments which may pose real dangers to the individual. You will be appropriately trained and provided with PPE to mitigate against these risks but individuals will still need to be mentally and physically resilient to undertake the role.

North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust provides 24 hour, 365 days a year accident and emergency services to those in need of emergency medical treatment and transport.

Our highly skilled staff provide life-saving care to patients in the community and take people to hospital or a place of care if needed.
We also provide non-emergency patient transport services for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need.

Alongside the other emergency services, we also work to ensure the safety of the public and treatment of patients in the event of a major incident.

We also deliver the NHS 111 service in the North West. NHS 111 replaced NHS Direct in 2013. This service was introduced to make it easier for people to access local NHS healthcare services in England. It provides non-emergency medical help fast, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
