Islay, Argyll and Bute, United Kingdom Scottish Ambulance Service Full time

Explore a Career as a Paramedic in Scotland

Are you considering a new opportunity? Have you ever envisioned working amidst some of the UK's most breathtaking landscapes? Now is an excellent time to consider a position with us in Scotland.

The Scottish Ambulance Service is actively seeking Paramedics to serve on the picturesque island of Islay. Our organization is evolving rapidly; over the past five years, we have integrated Advanced Paramedics into Urgent and Emergency Care, developed a novel clinical response framework, and launched Critical Care Paramedics. Additionally, we have initiated a comprehensive education program and achieved world-leading survival rates from Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA). We are now embarking on an ambitious 10-year strategy aimed at sustaining these advancements and further enhancing the clinical services we provide.

This is an exhilarating time to become part of our Service, with numerous opportunities available for Paramedics throughout Scotland.

What We Require from You

Candidates must be HCPC registered Paramedics with a C1 classification on their driving license. This is essential as our fleet of emergency vehicles consists of Mercedes models with box body conversions, most of which are under five years old. While having an emergency driving qualification is preferred, we are willing to assist you in obtaining this if you do not currently possess it. It is also necessary to reside on the island, ideally within a short distance from Bowmore, so please ensure you can secure suitable accommodation.

Beyond qualifications, we seek Paramedics who are dedicated to delivering high-quality care to the residents of Scotland. Our Paramedics are remarkable individuals with a genuine passion for their work. The Scottish Ambulance Service views it as a privilege to provide care for the people of Scotland, and if you share this sentiment, we encourage you to consider this opportunity.

Why Choose the Scottish Ambulance Service?

We take pride in offering an emergency ambulance service to the people of Scotland. Our workforce comprises 6,800 staff members operating from 150 locations, serving both mainland and island communities. Annually, we transport approximately 1 million patients to and from hospitals and facilitate 90,000 patient transfers between healthcare facilities. Our Air Ambulance service conducts around 3,500 missions each year, while our SCOTSTAR service is responsible for transferring 2,500 of Scotland's most critically ill patients.

Application Process

To apply, please click on the 'Apply for job' button located at the bottom of this page and follow the provided instructions. You will receive an automated confirmation upon submission of your application. Due to the current demands within the Service, there may be delays in processing your application, but we will reach out to you once the shortlisting process is complete.

If you possess the necessary skills, experience, and enthusiasm to excel in this role, we look forward to receiving your application.

NHS Scotland is committed to promoting equality and diversity within our workforce and eliminating unlawful discrimination. Our goal is to ensure that our workforce is truly representative and that every employee feels respected and empowered to perform at their best.
