Petition Fund Band 6 pay for newly qualified Paramedics
Newly Qualified Paramedics seeking employment are forced to accept a reduced salary because they are new. There is not adequate disparity between NQP’s and band 6 Paramedic job descriptions to justify the current pay difference.
More details
The pay difference between NQP (band 5) and band 6 Paramedics is unjustifiable and needs to be addressed. You are entitled to the same pay as anyone doing the same or broadly similar job, or a job of equal value. Whilst morale and mental health within the health service is at a record high, feelings of discrimination and being undervalued as an “NQP” are should not be ignored.
