Caring for the Capital.
Exact salary will depend on location and working pattern
With 8.5 million people from all nationalities and backgrounds living in 620 square miles and around 5,060 calls a day, almost a quarter of which are immediately life-threatening (Category A), there’s no such thing as a routine job, let alone a ‘normal’ day for the London Ambulance Service.
Factor in the world’s busiest airport on our doorstep, the enormous underground network, the busy tourist sites, and the major public and cultural events we deal with and you’ll quickly see why we place so much emphasis on finding the right people to carry out the vital work that we do.
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.
If you’d like to join us in improving our service in London the key skills and experience required are:
- currently studying a paramedic science degree course, recently qualified graduate Paramedic, or qualified paramedic with HCPC registration.
-have demonstrable evidence of practice within at least the last 12 months.
-possess a current full manual driving licence, valid in the UK
-have no more than three penalty points
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.
You don’t need to wait until you qualify to apply, as we would like you to start to get to know us now by attending one of our graduate assessment days.
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, references, Occupational Health clearance; and ID and Right to Work verification.
Benefits of joining:
-2 weeks paid classroom based course plus 75 hours operational placement
-3 weeks blue light emergency driving course for those who do not hold the Emergency Blue Light Driving Award
- Protected training and continued professional development through individual learning accounts
-A Clinical career path which is well established and expanding
Enhanced hands on experience across the spectrum in the Service
-In addition you will receive 27 days annual leave rising to 29 days after 5 years and 33 days after 10 years plus access to childcare vouchers, NHS Pension scheme, cycle scheme and season ticket loan.
Closing date for receipt of completed application and clinical familiarisation skills gap analysis checklist is midnight Friday 27 May 2016. Please ensure that this is attached to your application when it is submitted.
Please ensure that you will be available to be assessed and interviewed on Saturday 2 July 2016.
