Rob Enser is a duty officer in the North division, working out of the Cramlington station. He joined the East of England Ambulance Service (known as East Anglian Ambulance Service at the time) in 1999. He initially joined the ambulance service as a trainee advanced technician and qualified a year later. Rob gained multiple qualifications prior to joining NEAS which ultimately lead him to qualifying a paramedic in 2004. In late 2005, he left Norfolk and moved to the North East and joined NEAS. Following a period of relief, he settled as a community paramedic in Wooler where he remained in post in 2015. During this time, he was seconded into clinical lead post and then into the clinical team leader post as we see it today. Then in 2024, he was successfully appointed as duty officer for the North division. 💬 He said: "I always wanted to join the Police, however for one reason or another, this didn't happen, and I eventually started considering a career in the Ambulance Service, following in my father's footsteps. I quickly found it to be a very rewarding career, full of ups and downs with lots of opportunities to progress. At the time, the Ambulance Service was undergoing quite radical change which led to the introduction of more opportunities for paramedics instead of just the historic Ambulance, RRV or managerial roles. However, the best thing about the role is that you never know what's around the corner. To find out more visit 👉 https://lnkd.in/efbFQkdw
