Paramedic - Casual

Casual Paramedic Opportunity

Harney District Hospital is seeking a Casual Paramedic to join our hospital-based EMS Team. Casual Paramedics will work a minimum of 2 shifts per month.

Paramedics are recognized as a major component of a team, providing optimal care in a very remote environment. You make decisions independently based on scope and protocols and you provide most if not all ALS interventions required. You deliver your patient to an ED where you are on a first name basis with physicians and staff, all who are there to support you in your job and you in theirs. Frequently, you continue to assist with the more critical patients in the ED under the direction of the ED physician.

Harney District Hospital is a critical access hospital and level 4 trauma center. The Emergency Medical Services department is run through the hospital and responsible for responding to more than 1,000 requests per year covering greater than 10,800 square miles. Ambulance staffing is composed of a paramedic and an EMT or Advanced EMT, supplemented by casual EMTs and volunteer rural first responders. Staff respond from the hospital during business hours and from their homes the remaining hours. Department also provides inter-facility transports to Bend, Boise, or other larger cities.

If this sounds like the type of paramedic job you would be interested in, we would love to hear from you.
