This senior clinical role in CAS is responsible for professional, safe and effective clinical supervision of service delivery. You will be responsible for supporting and managing the on shift management of clinicians working within our EOCs. You will provide clinical expertise, by providing assessment, advice and information according to clinical protocols to all CAS and emergency Operation Centre (EOC) staff. The post holder will need to utilise professional judgment, critical thinking and refer to other provider agencies and clinicians as appropriate.
You will have a minimum of 3 years post-graduation experience and currently working as a Health Care Professional, registered with either the HCPC or NMC.

Main duties of the job The post holder will work with colleagues within EOC to ensure that, at the point of contact with the Ambulance Service, patients receive care and advice relevant to their needs.
