Pros
Working as a Paramedic Functional Assessor with Advo Health has been a positive and rewarding transition in my career. One of the standout benefits of the role is the excellent work-life balance it offers, which is a significant change from the demands of frontline paramedic work.
The training has been quite intensive, and at times I have found it challenging to adjust to the volume and depth of new information. However, this has been balanced by the strong support provided throughout the stages and training process. The trainers and mentors have been approachable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed, which has made a noticeable difference in building my confidence in the role. I also had great support by my colleagues within my training cohort, which also helped me through the initial stages and training process.
As I continue to develop, I am increasingly enjoying the position. It offers a new perspective on client care and allows me to apply my knowledge and experience as a frontline Paramedic in a different way as well as develop and further my assessment skills as a clinician. Overall, despite the initial challenges, this role has proven to be a worthwhile career move.
