Do you want to make a difference to frontline patient care? Come and join Team SECAmb! Our vision is to become a world-class provider of emergency and urgent healthcare services in the pre-hospital and out of hospital environments. To help us achieve this aim we are recruiting for Experienced Paramedics. We are looking for empathetic and committed individuals who are eligible to register with the HCPC and hold a BTECH Level 4, DipHE, FdSc or BSc award in Paramedic Science or Practice. Applicants must have an excellent knowledge of pre-hospital care, be methodical and systematic and demonstrate compassionate care in their daily interaction with patients. Experienced Paramedics should hold the Level 3 Certificate in Emergency Response Ambulance Driving and C1 Licence; however, if you do not, please still apply and let us know at the assessment centres, and we can offer you support to obtain both of these. Applicants must also have the ability to deal with stressful and sensitive situations whilst being highly motivated and enthusiastic. We want to support you through that transition and watch you grow through a tailored programme of personal and professional development within our Trust. About us

Option to join NHS pension scheme A minimum of 27 days' holiday each year, increasing after 5 years' service. Personal and professional development and training opportunities. Salary Sacrifice schemes for cars or push bikes. Access to occupational health and counselling services. Back up buddy App Access to NHS discounts, offering NHS employees a range of money-saving deals. Job responsibilities

We know that many colleagues aspire to progress, and we are proud of our progression programmes. We will actively support you once you have the relevant experience to progress, whether that be to become an Operational Team Leader, a Critical Care Paramedic or Paramedic Practitioner in field operations, work in one of our emergency operation control centres as a 111 Clinical Advisor or an EOC Clinical Supervisor. We also support other pathways within the Trust such as training to become part of our Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) or Special Operations Response Team (SORT). We are delighted to advise that we accept applications from our Experienced Paramedics onto our SORT team once your probation period is completed. The recruitment process for this year will include the following elements: Submission of an application via Trac detailing your work history and qualifications Attending an assessment centre Successful completion of a fitness test A discussion with an operational lead to match you to the best area of SECAmb to commence employment (subject to vacancies and successful completion of the assessment day). Following successfully passing the assessment centre, a conditional offer of employment will then be made within a week, and we will commence compliance, which covers ID Checks, DBS checks, and Occupational health. Upon clearing compliance and obtaining your C1 licence (if you do not already hold this), your offer of employment location will be finalised. Assistance with relocation costs may be available subject to meeting the pre-set criteria. You must also have a full EU driving licence with no more than three (3) points and the C1 category before commencing employment with SECAmb. If you already hold an emergency blue light driving qualification, a driving assessment will be conducted prior to starting with the Trust. A condition of employment is that until you have completed 52 weeks in the area of the Trust you have applied for, you cannot apply to join the transfer list to move to another Trust location during this period. This is to support the skill mix and ensure vacancies are planned for. Assessment centre =
