Paramedic Practitioner

Battersea PCN Ltd is looking for a motivated, enthusiastic paramedic with an interest in primary care working to join our existing paramedic team. This is an opportunity to be involved in developing new ways of working in Primary Care, with our friendly, forward thinking practice teams. Whilst previous experience in a GP setting is an advantage we are happy to offer training and support to the right candidate.

Battersea is a fantastic place to work with its diverse population, proximity to central London and beautiful open spaces such as Battersea Park and Clapham Common.

The Paramedic Practitioner will work autonomously within the GP practices, using their enhanced clinical assessment and treatment skills to provide first-point-of-contact for patients presenting with undifferentiated, undiagnosed problems such as minor illness or injury, and assessment of patients with long-term conditions. We provide a supportive clinical and educational environment, working collaboratively with GPs and other clinical colleagues.

The successful candidate will have excellent communication skills and will work closely with our GPs, Clinical Pharmacists, Nurses, and administrative and reception teams. You will have good time-management skills and be able to prioritise tasks and work independently.

The role will be varied, and will include -

• Assessment and treatment of acute and long term conditions
• Home visits
• Providing urgent care
• Safe prescribing
