"I have enjoyed my most recent position as a paramedic because I have a great partner, and we communicate well. Everyone on my team focuses on the same mission, to deliver quality care to all of our patients. I enjoy working with others because it is fun and challenging."

"I have been involved in team sports since I was twelve years old, which taught me about being a team player. As a paramedic, I work with teams daily, providing excellent patient care to our patients. I enjoy being part of a team as I learn so much from others."

Throughout my 3 years of ambulance placement as a student paramedic, I have had 3 different paramedic mentors all with no fixed crew mate meaning we worked with different people almost every shift, this hugely helped me to develop my skill of rapidly reading how other people work in different ways and allow myself to fit into work effectively with them in a team.
Another example of when I have worked in a team is when I was in explorers, we held multiple camping weekends every year for adults and children with learning disabilities. We all worked together as a team to care for and create activities to keep them entertained.
