Senior EMT agreement

Some of you will be aware that the local pay arrangement for SEMT has been under review based on its historic nature and need to align to agenda for change including production of a job description that is accurate and evaluated.

We are now in a position to plan out this work which should be completed by the 30.6.2022 and, as such, we will continue the existing pay banding agreement until then. Therefore, if you are eligible for SEMT this will be progressed via the HR support services team who will raise HR2s and send out accordingly.

Below is the existing banding agreement criteria that is applied:

• Employed by the Trust as an EMT
• Have 12 months post qualification experience (this is the point at which you became an EMT and 12 months following) in emergency operations or HART
• Agree, in signing the HR2, to complete key e-learning and have a CPD portfolio

From this date we are working on new arrangements based on the production of a job description and associated review. We will be working with UNISON and keep you updated on this over the coming weeks.

If you have any questions then please contact bandingagreement@eastamb.nhs.uk

We are grateful for your patience during this time.
