Newly Qualified Paramedic (Provisional C1)

London Ambulance Service NHS Trust is recruiting Newly Qualified Paramedics to join courses commencing on 15th February and 22nd February 2027.

As a Graduate Paramedic with London Ambulance Service, you will begin your career with a comprehensive clinical induction programme, supported operational experience and access to a well-established development pathway designed to help you thrive as a healthcare professional.

£2,500 Skills Incentive Available

To support the recruitment of skilled clinicians, eligible applicants who hold both:

• A full C1 driving licence; and
• An LAS recognised Emergency Response (Blue Light) Driving Qualification

at the time of application may be eligible to receive a one-off Skills Incentive payment of £2,500.

This incentive recognises the valuable skills and experience these candidates bring to the Service and supports their rapid deployment into operational roles. Terms and conditions apply.

Main duties of the job

Successful candidates will be placed onto a dedicated Overlay Roster for a minimum period of 12 months.

The Overlay Roster has been designed to support operational resilience across London and provides additional workforce capacity where demand is highest. As a result, the roster will contain a higher proportion of unsocial hours than standard operational rosters.

• Work within your scope of practice and professional competence, seeking clinical advice and support when required.
• Deliver high-quality patient care in line with Trust policies, procedures and clinical guidelines.
• Assess, treat and appropriately refer patients using established care pathways.
