What do I do?

So what does my job as an Operations Officer involve?
Primarily I am an operational Paramedic responding to emergency incidents and providing day to day line management for a group of staff.
The other part of my role is as Operational Commander ( bronze commander, duty officer) providing 24/7 cover for East Dorset as part of a team of eight. The area I cover is predominantly urban conurbation, this leads to a variety of tasks including:
Staff welfare
Sickness issues 
Rota management 
Dealing with hospital handover delays
Day to day management issues 
Attending emergency incidents as both a response and in a operational commander role
Attend multi agency incidents
Attend complex or prolonged incidents
Attend incidents as operational commander where multiple resources are committed
Liaise with other agencies at incidents
This gives a brief idea of the type of thing I may deal with on a daily basis but no two days are the same and that is what makes it interesting.
