Paramedic Specialist

South Uttlesford Primary Care Network is seeking a dynamic and forward-thinking Emergency Care Practitioner (ECP)/Paramedic to provide dedicated support to our 4 general practices and local population.

The role is part-time, 18 hours per week, over 2 days, for a 2-year fixed-term contract with the possibility of further extension.

The successful candidate will operate across a neighbourhood of practices, providing specialist paramedic resources and supporting the delivery of PCN service objectives within a surgery setting.

• Work as an autonomous, accountable paramedic, providing a holistic approach, including assessment, diagnosis, and treatment to deliver high-quality patient services.
• Collaborate closely with a wider multi-disciplinary PCN workforce, including pharmacists and social prescribers.
• Utilize advanced clinical skills to educate patients, promoting self-care and empower them to make informed choices about their treatment.
• Assess, diagnose, treat, refer, or signpost patients with undifferentiated or undiagnosed conditions relating to minor illness or injury, supported by senior clinicians as needed.

We welcome applications from experienced ECPs/Paramedics seeking a new challenge.

Previous primary care experience is not essential; however, we require a registered paramedic with current HCPC registration and post-registration experience, ideally including some time in primary care.

The ideal candidate will possess advanced clinical assessment, reasoning, and clinical decision-making skills, as well as experience working to protocols and guidelines.

Excellent verbal and non-verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to make clear decisions with confidence and communicate these effectively.

We offer a supportive working environment, flexible working arrangements, and opportunities for professional development within our Primary Care Network.
