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.
