Roles marked purple are organisational hats (Management, Director, Governance Lead, Compliance Off.) — worn in addition to a primary clinical grade. Teal/green = registered clinical practitioners. Red = fire & rescue operational hats. Yellow/amber = operational support. Hats are additive — a Paramedic with a Management hat holds both clinical and management access.
