Opportunities to grow, as Medical Edge Australia continues to expand its operations

What you'll be doing

As an Ambulance Attendant, you'll be part of an operational NEPT crew responding to dispatched patient transport cases.

You'll undertake thorough patient assessments, monitor patients throughout transport and provide appropriate clinical care within your scope of practice. You'll also recognise deterioration or situations requiring a higher level of care and escalate appropriately.

Day to day, you'll:

Assess patients and record clinical observations

Provide ongoing care and monitoring during transport

Communicate clearly and compassionately with patients, families and healthcare professionals

Safely operate NEPT vehicles and medical equipment

Respond appropriately if a patient's condition changes or deteriorates

Complete accurate clinical documentation and patient records

Work closely with your crewmate and the wider operational team

Maintain the highest standards of patient safety, confidentiality and professionalism

The role requires strong clinical judgement, problem solving and the ability to remain calm and decisive when circumstances change.

Who we're looking for

You'll be someone who genuinely enjoys working with people and takes pride in delivering excellent patient care.

We're particularly interested in candidates who are:

Professional, calm and confident with patients

Strong communicators who can explain clinical information in an easy to understand way

Comfortable making decisions within their scope of practice

Reliable and able to work effectively as part of a two-person crew

Adaptable and comfortable working in a dynamic environment

Committed to patient dignity, safety and confidentiality

Physically capable of undertaking the patient and equipment handling requirements of an operational role

Essential qualifications

To be considered, you'll need:

A minimum Diploma of Paramedical Science, or equivalent qualification recognised by the Department of Health

400 hours of clinically supervised practice, as required by the Department of Health

Relevant industry experience

You'll also need a sound understanding of clinical assessment, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology, medical terminology and the recognition and management of a deteriorating patient.

More than just getting patients from A to B

Non-Emergency Patient Transport is about much more than transport.

For many patients, you'll be the person supporting them during an important, and sometimes difficult, part of their healthcare journey. Your ability to assess, reassure, communicate and provide safe clinical care matters.

If you're looking for a hands-on healthcare role where you can use your qualifications, work with a great operational team and continue developing your experience in pre-hospital care, we'd love to hear from you.
