Can you please clarify how many NQP positions will be available in 2025. 
 
Also, can you please advise what stations are recruiting.  

Response

As an organisation, the Scottish Ambulance Service are aiming to recruit 300 paramedics nationwide.  The advert is now live - NHS Scotland | Jobs | Search here for your perfect career - Job Information | Apply for Newly Qualified Paramedic (NQP) 

 

It is important to note - These projections are for the 2025 calendar year and there are many factors to consider before the Scottish Ambulance Service can place NQP’s, including availability and location of vacancies.  

 

The Scottish Ambulance Service does not hold information on specific stations at this point due to the factors mentioned above.  It is for this reason we have applied section 17 of the Freedom of Information Scotland Act 2002, as information not held.
