Location: Felixstowe
Posts: PCN Paramedic
Contract: Permanent
Hours: 15 hours per week
Salary: Up to £38K FTE
East Suffolk Primary Care Network is an innovative partnership of 13 practices providing primary healthcare to more than 155,000 patients. The collaboration sees doctors and other practice staff sharing resources and working together to ensure patients continue to receive the highest quality healthcare.
We are looking to recruit a further Paramedic for our Felixstowe locality, specifically working across our Kesgrave and Martlesham practices to support GPs in delivering Primary Care services. PCNs are exciting new initiatives and East Suffolk PCN is at the forefront of innovation and collaboration being one of the largest such groups in the country.
The role has a focus on minor illness clinics within practice and visiting patients in their own homes and in care home settings; taking medical histories, carrying out examinations, updating records, ordering and analysing test results, and using problem solving and clinical decision making skills to establish a working diagnosis.
Candidates will be highly motivated with excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will work as part of a large paramedic team within the locality and as part of a multidisciplinary team within practice to support delivery of high standards of clinical care under the supervision of a GP.
A condition of the role is that you work toward developing Level 7 capability, within a set timeframe, by following the clinical pillar competencies of the Advanced Clinical Practice Framework. We will support you to develop, working in an environment that nurtures and develops quality.
Experience in General Practice would be an advantage but is not essential if you are clinically up-to-date and can show a firm understanding of the role within a Primary Care setting.
