Paramedic

About the role

At Montu, the New Patient Paramedic sits at the very beginning of a patient's journey with us, and that first interaction matters more than most. The people who come to us have often spent years navigating a healthcare system that has not been able to give them answers. By the time they reach us, they are ready to try something different. Your role is to make that first step feel safe, considered, and human.

As a New Patient Paramedic you will conduct virtual assessments with patients across our core conditions, which span psychiatry, neurology, pain, and women's health. You will review medical histories, identify clinical needs, and determine whether cannabis-based treatment is appropriate, all within a multidisciplinary team that includes consultants, pharmacists, and specialist clinicians. This is not a passive gatekeeping role. You will be an active clinical voice, asking the right questions, spotting the things that need a closer look, and knowing when to refer on.

What makes this role different is the depth of the patient relationship you are able to build, even within a remote model. Because our patients return to us regularly throughout their treatment, you will see the impact of the decisions you make. When a patient tells you at their three week review that they are sleeping for the first time in years, or that their pain has reduced enough to let them get back to their life, you will know that your assessment was part of that outcome. That is what drives this team.

You will be joining a company that is growing fast and changing quickly. Things evolve here, processes improve, and no two weeks look exactly the same. If you are someone who thrives with variety, who wants to be part of building something rather than just maintaining it, and who believes that patients deserve better access to treatments that actually work, this is a role worth looking at.
