North Hampshire Urgent Care have just introduced a new primary care service within the North Hampshire area. This service will provide a daytime Paramedic and ACP-led home visiting service for patients within four Primary Care Networks (PCNs) presenting with unplanned acute and subacute primary and urgent care needs. We are therefore looking to add to a fantastic team of experienced Paramedics with either existing post-registration qualifications of urgent care, or a strong interest in primary/urgent care who would be interested in developing their career further in this area.

The service will be operating 10:00-18:00 Monday to Fridays (excluding bank holidays) and we would be interested in hearing from those who are looking to pick up shifts on a flexible basis to cover annual leave/sickness from the current team.

They must be able to manage changing demands and priorities and work effectively as both part of a team and independently. Experience of working in a similar environment would be beneficial but not essential. Please note, this is a fixed term position.
