NWAS has developed this exciting new role to help achieve the best possible learning experiences for learners and mentors/practice educators within PES Operations. This role will suit individuals with a strong background in supporting learners and a passion for improving learner experiences.

Each PES sector will gain valuable support from a Paramedic Learning Facilitator, who will report to the Sector Manager and work as an integral part of the Sector management team, supporting, evaluating and improving the learner and mentor/practice educator experience within the Sector. The post holder will report on learner experiences, using data, analysing learner experiences and activities and provide assurance of quality and develop action plans to enable the delivery of consistent and highly valued learner programmes in the Sector.

Main duties of the job

Paramedic Learning Facilitators will spend 70% of their time working operational shifts with identified learners on a double crewed ambulance (DCA). The role will not follow a fixed rota and will have the flexibility to determine the required working pattern to meet the needs of learners, recognising that different sectors may develop different operating models. They will work closely with rostering teams and the sector management team to plan shifts with learners. The remaining 30% of time (non-operational) will be protected to support individual and sector-based learning activities, working in partnership with the local sector and workforce development teams.

Suitable candidates will be qualified to degree level as a paramedic and will have experience of supporting learners as a practice educator/mentor and have completed a relevant mentoring learner module. Ideally candidates will hold/be working towards relevant teaching/learning qualifications at the point of application, but for the right candidates these will be provided following appointment.

Applications will be shortlisted against the relevant criteria in the person specification for this role and it is important that candidates can describe their experience in supporting a range of learners in the practice environment and the impact on those learners.
