Successful applicants will work as part of the doctor-critical care paramedic (+/- pilot) team providing 24/7 pre-hospital critical care on both our air ambulance and rapid response car platforms.

TAAS is a registered training site for the West Midlands PHEM Training Programme, and many of our doctors are examiners for the FPHC FIMC examinations or have achieved Level 8 accreditation, enabling us to provide high quality educational and career support. This post will also provide experience in pre-hospital audit and research, service development, clinical governance and multi-disciplinary education.

Successful candidates will be invited to attend selection at Nottingham Heliport on 16th April.
