Paramedic

Starting pay: $25.68/hour + 1%/year experience credit + shift differentials, up to $5.00/hour + 8 hours of bi-weekly built-in overtime

Are you a skilled and compassionate paramedic with a sense of adventure and a desire to make a difference?

At Coastal Ambulance, you'll join a team committed to clinical excellence, professional growth, exceptional patient care and making connections for life! We only hire paramedics who want to truly practice paramedicine—not simply complete transports—and who are ready to build their careers in a dynamic, fast-paced EMS environment.

Our paramedics experience the dynamic nature of ALS and critical care transports serving half our patients in the prehospital environment and the rest through interfacility medicine, providing patient care across a broad spectrum of clinically challenging situations. The result being meaningful clinical variety, opportunities to continually build essential knowledge and skills, and the chance to apply the principles of paramedicine every shift.

If you're looking for an organization where your clinical skills will be challenged, your growth will be supported, and a confidence that the work you do does make a difference, we'd love to meet you!

What you'll do

As a coastal paramedic, you'll provide high-quality patient assessment, treatment, and transportation while working alongside a team of experienced EMS professionals dedicated to excellence in patient care.

You'll provide care across a wide variety of patient populations and transport types, including:

• Prehospital
• Critical care transport
• Advanced life support (ALS)
• Basic life support (BLS)
• Hospital-to-hospital transport
• Special events

Whether responding to a prehospital patient or caring for a critically ill patient during an interfacility transport, we'll rely on your strong assessment skills, sound clinical judgment, and compassionate patient care.
