Specialist Paramedic Mental Health
4 weeks ago
Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) is expanding its clinical workforce by introducing a new Specialist Paramedic Mental Health (SPMH) role open to suitably experienced Paramedics.
The MHRVs attend to specific mental health jobs where a double-crewed ambulance and transport to the ED may not be required as there is no physical injury. Patients are transported to safe spaces and put in touch with crisis teams to access support and Mental Health Assessment.
You will rotate between working as a double crew on the Mental Health Response Vehicles (MHRV) and Emergency Operations Centre (EOC) including placements in local mental health crisis teams, safe spaces, primary care and other providers. This is a leadership role that works across the 4 pillars of specialist and advanced practice.
Specialist Paramedic Mental Health (SPMH) are level 7 practitioners and can work to the full scope of practice. Paramedic Mental Health (PMH) is the title used during development and training as the clinician transitions to specialist practice.

The Specialist Paramedic Mental Health will support patients experiencing mental health crisis when they need a response (either telephone or face to face from the ambulance service).
Utilising their clinical skills and knowledge required of the role, the post holder is responsible for the competent assessment, diagnosis, care, treatment and referral and/or transport of patients and their carers/relatives in emergency or life-threatening situations.
The post holder will be clinically responsible for ensuring their own safe and effective clinical performance, and demonstrate excellence in clinical leadership through role modelling values and professional standards and mentorship in practice.
