Amulance Officers is a generic title for members of managment within the ambulance service who are "opperationally active". Clearly the role will be different within different services however when used in relation to the LAS it will typically refer to either training officers, who spend their time running training courses for both existing and new members of staff, and station officers, who are tasked with the day to day running of a complex (give or take 100 staff) and scene managment, attending large or significant incidents and overseeing the care to all patients and the safety of all staff. Any of these officers who hold a paramedic qualification will need to spend time with patients to ensure their skills are up to date and that they maintain their registration. Hope that helps
