Registered Paramedic, London Ambulance Service
Band 5 £29,844 - £38,567 inc.
Exact salary will depend on location and working pattern
The great service which you’ll help us to deliver means providing the appropriate response to our patients. As part of our strategic plan to take us through to 2013, the year after London will be hosting the Olympic Games, we foresee that we will be providing more care for patients in their homes - where many would rather be treated - and giving more advice to callers over the phone. By 2013 we envisage we will be taking 200,000 fewer patients a year to hospital. We are constantly striving to improve. For example, the cardiac arrest survival rate in London has risen to 22.5% in the last five years, thanks in part to our staff’s dedication in improving response times and delivering better quality chest compressions.
