Summary
The Paramedic will be employed under the NHS England Additional Roles Reimbursement Scheme (ARRS) to work as part of the multidisciplinary Primary Care Network team. The post holder will support the delivery of high-quality, accessible care for patients, helping to reduce GP workload and improve patient outcomes.
Hounslow is traditionally considered an underserved area, and several initiatives have been under way to increase the appeal of working in Hounslow through training and development of staff, technology and our partnership with Hounslow Community Healthcare in West London NHS Trust.
We are seeking individuals who are passionate about improving care for patients living in areas of high socioeconomic deprivation, tackling health inequalities and increasing access to high quality multi-disciplinary general practice.

Key Responsibilities (ARRS-aligned)
• Assess, diagnose, treat, and manage patients presenting with a range of acute, urgent, and long-term conditions.
• Undertake same-day appointments and home visits across the PCN.
• Work autonomously within agreed clinical protocols, escalating to GPs or senior clinicians where appropriate.
• Identify red flags and refer patients appropriately to secondary care, community services, or emergency services.
• Prescribe medications (where appropriately qualified and authorised) in line with local and national policy.
• Support admission avoidance and proactive patient management.
• Contribute to improved access and continuity of care within the PCN.
• Work as an integral member of the PCN multidisciplinary team (MDT), including GPs, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals.
