1 Share of the paramedic in emergency responses role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the emergency ambulance driver profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A paramedic in emergency responses role treats 26 of its required skills as things a emergency ambulance driver already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • adhere to organisational guidelines
  • apply organisational techniques
  • assess nature of injury in emergency
  • communicate in healthcare
  • comply with legislation related to health care
  • comply with quality standards related to healthcare practice

What stands in the way is 48 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 28 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A paramedic in emergency responses role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a emergency ambulance driver background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held sanitary technology health and welfare
  • already held write reports on emergency cases communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held decontaminate ambulance interior handling and moving
  • already held medical dispatch health and welfare
  • already held position patients undergoing interventions assisting and caring
  • already held transfer patients to and from ambulance vehicles assisting and caring

All 28 carried skills, including the 26 the paramedic in emergency responses role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 55 missing skills fall into 8 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
