The post provides an opportunity for motivated Paramedics to be involved in the Trust’s new delivery model leading Specialist Paramedics for Mental Health, who will rotate between the Mental Health Response Vehicles (MHRV), Emergency Operation Centre (EOC), Integrated Urgent Care (IUC), and wider mental health partners.

This is the first opportunity of its kind in the country and part of our innovative Mental Health Programme.

The post holder is an experienced Paramedic who, acting within their professional boundaries, will provide enhanced clinical decision making to support pathways of care to patients with mental health presentations, through telephone consultation and face to face assessment, as well as clinical support and advice to colleagues.

You will lead a team of Specialist Paramedics and work closely with colleagues in EOC and IUC as well as wider system partners. You will ensure the delivery of excellent patient care through the continuous achievement of high clinical standards. You will work autonomously and support patients within our community. You will be expected to undertake relevant research and development activities, and to provide guidance and mentorship to peers within your role as required.

The role is open to experienced Paramedics with HCPC Registration who are able to meet the requirements of the job description and person specification. Please note that this post is not suitable for NQP Paramedics.
