About this role
Ute Pass Regional Health Service District (UPRHSD) is hiring experienced part-time EMTs to support our team through the summer season. This is not an entry-level or training position. We are specifically looking for providers who already know how to do the job and can step in quickly with minimal ramp-up.
If you are a working EMT with solid 911 transport experience and you want to pick up shifts in a mountain district that takes its work seriously, we want to hear from you.
What this role looks like:
As an EMT at UPRHSD, you will respond to emergency and non-emergency calls as part of a two-person crew alongside one of our Paramedics.
The onboarding process for this position is streamlined specifically for experienced providers. Instead of a traditional academy, you will complete three observation rides, one with each shift, and then pace through a task book on the job. The hope is that you come in with strong foundational skills already in place. What we hope to focus on with your training is: our operational setup, our district, and how we do things here.
This is a part-time / PRN position. We are looking to add up to 10 providers to our roster to fill summer shift gaps and vacation coverage, with the possibility of ongoing availability after the season.
