Working in London will give you a level of experience which is second to none with the opportunity to really develop your practice as a paramedic.

We strive to provide our patients with the level of care that distinguishes us as a great service provider. We are now taking fewer patients to hospital by using more alternative care pathways, treating more patients in their home and giving more advice to callers over the phone.

• Have demonstrable evidence of practice within at least the last 12 months.

• Possess a current full manual driving licence, valid in the UK and covering category C1 vehicles, (Overseas applicants will just need a manual driving license for your country as on entry to the UK, you will need to be able to convert your license to a UK license and obtain C1)

• Have no more than three demerit points or equivalent in your country for overseas applicants and recent & demonstrable driving experience.

Beyond that, a dedicated approach to providing top quality care to others could well see you into one of the most satisfying and highly respected roles in the community.

If successful at interview:

We will need to undertake employment checks as part of our recruitment process, and this will include an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure & Barring Service which LAS will fund.

You will also be required to submit a National Police check from your country of residence.

• Blue light driving training provided and paid for

As a paramedic you will be one of the first healthcare professionals to arrive at a range of emergency and non-emergency situations.

You will then start giving the treatment, with the assistance of your crew-mate. In non-life-threatening situations, you’ll also have to use your professional judgement to make key clinical decisions.

You will be trained to drive what is in effect a mobile emergency clinic and to resuscitate and/or stabilize patients using sophisticated techniques, equipment and drugs. You might be called out to someone who has fallen from scaffolding, for example, or an elderly person with a suspected stroke.

Based at a local ambulance station along with other emergency crews, you will work shifts, including evenings and weekends, going out in all weathers at all hours of the night or day. You will work closely with doctors and nurses in hospital emergency departments, briefing them as you hand your patient over to their care.

As well as contact with your patients, you will also deal with patients’ relatives and members of the public, some of whom might be hysterical or aggressive. You will also often work alongside the police and fire brigade.

THESE ARE SOME OF THE ESSENTIAL CRITERIA YOU WILL NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL AS A PARAMEDIC:
Fully qualified and HCPC registered Paramedic.
Hold a valid full B category driving licence with no more than 3 penalty points or any short period disqualification.
Good communication skills.
Demonstrable working knowledge of dealing with patients.
Flexible, with a willingness to work shifts.
Ability to work as part of a team.
