Job Description
Paramedic in Primary Care
The Rowan Tree Practice is excited to welcome a paramedic onto the team, as part of their extended multidisciplinary team.
We are a forward thinking and agile practice looking to benefit from the insight of a paramedic as part of our clinical team. The role would help the candidate develop their portfolio, offering regular but varied patient contact in a stable and routine environment.
Basic tasks in a clinic would include taking and interpreting blood pressure measurements, ECGs, phlebotomy, and basic investigations that paramedics will have experience of. Dependent on experience and within the scope of their education, the potential candidate would ideally undertake specific patient management reviews in a specialist area, such as diabetes or asthma, or be comfortable triaging and/or assessing patients with minor illnesses.
Importantly this is a role with the candidate's development in mind, so we would actively encourage any training opportunities and would assist in funding these.
