Profile

HCPC-registered paramedic with three years on a frontline emergency ambulance after a paramedic science degree. Assesses and treats patients on emergency and urgent calls, decides with each patient whether they need hospital, and keeps a full electronic record for every patient.

How to write yours

01

Give your caseload and role

Calls a shift, shift length and whether you lead the crew tell a manager your pace and responsibility in one line.

02

Name the conditions you manage

Cardiac arrest, sepsis, stroke, trauma: a short list shows your clinical range better than “wide experience”.

03

Show your decisions

Who stayed at home, who you referred and who went to hospital is the judgement services want more of. Give a share only if you can stand behind it.

04

Keep patients out of it

No names, ages with places, or details that could identify a patient, even when a case shows your skill.

Rules and checks for a paramedic's CV

Do I need to be registered with the HCPC?

You need to register with the Health and Care Professions Council (National Careers Service). Give the registration number in your contact lines and the year under qualifications.

Which driving licence does a paramedic need?

Many ambulance services expect a full driving licence by the end of training, and preferably C1 for medium-sized vehicles (National Careers Service). Say which you hold.

Which checks will I need to pass?

You need to pass enhanced background checks, as you may work with children and vulnerable adults, and a medical check (National Careers Service).

Classic and one page: the registration and licence sit in the contact lines where a recruiter checks them first, and the layout prints cleanly. NHS ambulance trusts often recruit through an application form; copy these lines into it.
