Internal 911 Paramedic

Hiring for a Full-Time 911 Paramedic

Ute Pass Regional Health Service District is constantly growing and molding to the needs of the community we serve. We are not your typical 911 ambulance agency that just responds to calls treats transports and goes to the emergency room. We are a service that holds our providers to a high standard of education community involvement teamwork continued education and to put it simply doing the right thing.

We also provide interfacility transports for our local hospital. At times this is a large part of our call volume. The local hospital is one of many community partners that we always treat with professional mutual respect and collaboration. The patients that we transfer from there are always receive the highest care that we provide which includes additional waivers and some critical care.

Our health service district also responds to backcountry calls which includes hiking out to your patients and providing assessment treatment and extrication which can take many hours to do.

We cover over 539 square miles of rural area that gives our providers long transport and patient contact times.

Our shifts are currently the 24-hour Modified Kelly schedule but can change in the future to hours that are safer and more productive depending on call volume and work load. The 24-hour shift schedule is not promised to stay but is unknown if and when it could change.

We are good community partners and do our best to provide the best professional attitudes with those we work with and expect you to do the same.

Each year our call volume increases which forces us to be flexible and learn solutions to manage the call volume as best we can with the resources we have. Last year we ran about 4200 calls.

Because our district is so diverse we have many different avenues to help our patients and we do a significant amount of system status management on our own like self-dispatching managing district coverage and managing multiple calls at once. We hope our candidates are quick to think on their feet good at problem solving and great at working and communicating with others to accomplish the mission and goals.

Our providers take ownership of their agency by assuming additional tasks and responsibilities in addition to their duties as a medical provider such as: education and training QA/QI building maintenance vehicle maintenance community outreach special event coordination different district task force and committee projects supply ordering medical equipment maintenance and accountability vehicle inspection and licensing etc. You too will gain a task or two when the time is right.
