Part-Time Emergency Driver - Cincinnati

On-Call Commitment

This is a true on-call role. During scheduled on-call periods, you must remain reachable and prepared to respond when dispatched. When not actively deployed, you may use your time freely. Dispatch activity varies, and weekly hours are not guaranteed.
