An exciting opportunity to join an established and forward-thinking Paramedic Team

Are you an experienced Paramedic looking for an opportunity to develop your career within Primary Care?

North Wilts Border Primary Care Network is looking for an enthusiastic, skilled and motivated PCN Paramedic to join our dynamic multidisciplinary workforce.

You won't be working alone. You will become part of an established team of six experienced PCN Paramedics, providing the opportunity to work collaboratively, share clinical knowledge and experience, and learn from colleagues while continuing to develop your own scope of practice.

Our PCN brings together six GP practices across North Wiltshire and Swindon, and we have developed a diverse multidisciplinary workforce focused on delivering high-quality, proactive and accessible care closer to patients' homes.

This is an excellent opportunity for a Paramedic who enjoys autonomy, variety and clinical decision-making and wants to play an important role in shaping how care is delivered within Primary Care.

We are looking for a Paramedic who is clinically confident, compassionate and comfortable working autonomously while recognising when to seek advice or escalate care.

You will need current HCPC registration as a Paramedic, strong clinical assessment and decision-making skills, and experience appropriate to autonomous Primary Care practice.

Main duties of the job

As a PCN Paramedic, you will work autonomously as part of our wider multidisciplinary team, assessing and managing patients presenting with a broad range of acute, undifferentiated and complex conditions.

Your role will include same-day and urgent care, home visiting, frailty and complex care, with opportunities to work within GP practices, patients' homes, care homes and other community settings.

You will undertake comprehensive clinical assessments, formulate differential diagnoses, identify and manage clinical risk, initiate treatment and investigations within your competence, and refer or escalate patients appropriately.

A key part of the role will be supporting patients to receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time, helping to avoid unnecessary hospital attendance or admission where safe and clinically appropriate.

You will work closely with GPs and our wider PCN multidisciplinary team, including nurses, clinical pharmacists, pharmacy technicians, care coordinators, social prescribers, health and wellbeing staff, mental health practitioners and other allied health professionals.

Depending upon your experience and competence, there may also be opportunities to contribute to areas such as care-home support, ward rounds, frailty, anticipatory care, service development, quality improvement and the ongoing development of our PCN Paramedic service.

About us

North Wilts Border Primary Care Network is an ambitious and evolving organisation where our people are central to what we do.

We work collaboratively across six GP practices:

• Malmesbury Primary Care Centre,
• New Court Surgery,
• Purton Surgery,
• Cricklade Surgery,
• The Tolsey Surgery
• Tinkers Lane Surgery.

We have invested significantly in developing a broad multidisciplinary workforce to include GP, Care Coordinators, Social Prescribers, Clinical Pharmacists and Pharmacy Technicians and believe that bringing different professions, skills and perspectives together enables us to provide better care for our communities.

For this role in particular, you will have the benefit of joining an established team of six other Paramedics. We recognise the importance of peer support, clinical supervision, shared learning and professional development, particularly when working autonomously in Primary Care.

We want our clinicians to feel able to contribute ideas and help shape services rather than simply step into a fixed model of working. As our PCN continues to develop, there will be opportunities to contribute to service improvement and new ways of delivering care across our practices and communities. The role specifically includes participation in service development, quality improvement, audit and evaluation.

Job summary

Evaro is a fully licensed healthcare platform combining AI-assisted consultations with clinical oversight from qualified professionals. We provide instant medical access, diagnosis, and next-day prescription delivery for a wide range of primary care conditions.

This isn't a traditional pharmacy tech role. Around 80% of your time will be spent delivering NHS contraception consultations directly to patients. If you're at your best when you're with a patient, not counting stock, and want to work somewhere that's changing how people access care, this is worth reading on.

Access to contraception should be simple. For too many people it isn't. Long GP waits, limited appointments, and a system that hasn't kept pace with demand. Pharmacy-based services are closing that gap, but only where the right people are delivering them. Evaro is building a scalable NHS contraception pathway. The technology is in place. Now we need clinicians who can deliver high-quality, compassionate consultations at volume and do it consistently.

Main duties of the job

Most of your day will be spent talking to patients. You'll deliver NHS contraception consultations via Evaro's AI-supported platform, working through cases at pace while maintaining accuracy, empathy, and a 24-hour turnaround standard.

You'll document each consultation carefully, escalate clinical queries to the pharmacist when needed, and operate confidently within your scope of practice.

Alongside consultations, you'll support the dispensing team, help manage prescription workflows, and contribute to the smooth running of the pharmacy operation.

This is a role for someone who's composed under pressure and genuinely cares about how patients experience their care. You'll build consultation volume progressively as you settle into the role.

About us

Evaro builds technology that makes healthcare more accessible. Our platform enables brands to integrate digital health services with minimal friction, supporting 13.5 million patients across NHS and private healthcare services in the UK.

We were founded in 2018 after realising that a significant proportion of A&E consultations and GP appointments focus on minor health conditions that could be more efficiently managed digitally. What began as an e-Surgery and e-Pharmacy platform has grown into a full-stack digital health company, powering clinical, operational, and product solutions for the future of healthcare.

Our mission is to improve access to medications and health services through seamless, tech-driven experiences.
