About the Role
We are looking for a motivated Paramedic to join our dedicated team within the Ambulance & Paramedic Service on the Isle of Man, providing quality care Island-wide.
Working as part of the Islands Service you will carry out clinical patient care, respond to urgent 999 calls and GP urgent admissions. Some of your responsibilities will include delivering treatment such as drug therapies, performing advanced clinical interventions, undertaking emergency driving, daily vehicle and equipment checks, and restocking supplies and equipment.
We operate out of 3 stations: one in the north, one in the south and Ambulance HQ located in the east of the Island adjacent to the main hospital on the Island.
As a small island we have to work closely with other services including the Police, Fire Service and Coastguard,and we often combine training events to help us prepare for the regular instances when cross-agency working is required.
What can this role offer me?
We are a proactive service and embrace development of skills and practice. You will have access to many opportunities for development,including training Emergency Care Assistants and induction training and mentoring of new team members. Our staff structure includes Paramedic Supervisors and Senior Ambulance Officers, so there will be the opportunity to develop into these areas in the future. The DHSC has also begun the implementation of a transformation project and this is expected to impact our Ambulance Service, providing extensive opportunities for development, as our role is expanded to integrate with this new structure.
The Isle of Man is known as the Motorsport Capital of the World and there are many opportunities for paramedics to get involved with the various 2 and 4 wheeled sporting events. During these events (IOM TT and Manx Grand Prix) we have the use of a helicopter for responding to calls when many roads around the Island are closed to normal road traffic; there will be opportunities to work on this team, as the helicopter is staffed by our Paramedics on a rotational basis.
Team work and the Health and Safety of all staff is our key focus and we are very supportive of each other. We have a strong community ethic and this is reflected in the support we receive from residents and DHSC colleagues alike.
If you’re relocating, interview expenses and a relocation package of up to £7,000 (based on receipts) are also available for this role. You may also qualify for a recruitment incentive of £3000 which will be payable in the 1st, 13th, and 25th months of employment.Housing Assistance is also available where the Department will pay the difference between your current mortgage/rent bill, and that of your new accommodation on the Isle of Man, up to a maximum of £250 per month.
