(FULL TIME RELIEF)
The Scottish Ambulance Service is recruiting Qualified Ambulance Technicians, Newly Qualified Paramedics and HCPC registered Paramedics, to work at locations across Dumfries and Galloway. As a Service we are developing at pace, in the last five years we have introduced Advanced Paramedics in Urgent and Emergency Care, developed a new clinical response model, rolled out Critical Care Paramedics, developed a new education programme and improved survival from Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrests (OHCA) to world leading levels. We are now embarking on our next 10-year strategy which will see the Service sustain these changes and further develop the clinical care we deliver.
What do we need from you?
You need to be an Ambulance Technician with a FutureQuals L4 APP qualification or an IHCD Technician award (or equivalent), a Newly Qualified Paramedic, or an HCPC registered Paramedic. You will have a full driving licence, including the C1 classification, as our fleet of A&E vehicles are all Mercedes with a box body conversion, the majority of which are under five years old.
Ideally you would have your emergency driving qualification, however if you don’t currently have this, we can help you achieve it. But more than that, we are looking for applicants who want to help us in the delivery of high-quality care to the people of Dumfries and Galloway.
Why work for the Scottish Ambulance Service?
Our staff are exceptional and have a real passion for what they do. We have 6,800 staff working in 150 locations serving all mainland and island communities. Each year, we take around 1 million patients to and from hospital and transfer 90,000 patients between hospital. Our Air Ambulance undertakes around 3,500 missions a year and our SCOTSTAR service transfers 2,500 of Scotland’s most seriously ill patients.
The Scottish Ambulance Service consider it a privilege to care for the people of Scotland and if you feel the same way too, have the ability to work on your own initiative under the Service’s Policies & Procedures, and wish to relocate to Dumfries and Galloway-apply now!
In addition to your salary, you can also expect a great pension scheme, generous leave entitlement and family friendly polices to help support a healthy work / life balance.
