Job description

We are a fast-growing ambulance service proudly serving communities across Ohio, Indiana, Maryland, and West Virginia. Our team delivers professional private ambulance and advanced life support (ALS) services focused on safe, efficient, and compassionate patient transport.

We coordinate emergency and non-emergency transportation between homes, emergency departments, hospitals, long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, psychiatric hospitals, hospice programs, and more. Our commitment is to provide safe, timely, and clinically excellent care—24 hours a day.

Night operations are critical to maintaining continuity of care across the healthcare system, and our overnight teams play an essential leadership role in that mission.

Position Overview – Night Shift

As a Night Shift Paramedic, you will serve as the clinical leader on your unit during overnight hours. Night shift operations require heightened awareness, sound clinical judgment, and the ability to function independently in lower-resource and lower-visibility environments.

You will respond to emergency and non-emergency calls, manage interfacility transfers, support late-night hospital discharges, and provide advanced life support care when it is needed most. Overnight shifts demand strong decision-making skills, operational readiness, and the ability to remain calm and focused under pressure.

This role is ideal for experienced, self-directed Paramedics who thrive in structured but dynamic environments and are committed to delivering exceptional care during critical overnight hours.

Key Responsibilities

• Respond promptly and professionally to emergency and non-emergency calls during overnight operations
• Provide advanced life support (ALS) care in accordance with Ohio state protocols and medical direction
• Perform comprehensive patient assessments and implement appropriate treatment plans
• Administer medications and perform advanced airway management and other ALS procedures within scope of practice
• Lead and mentor EMT partners to ensure coordinated, efficient patient care
• Safely operate the ambulance in nighttime and low-visibility conditions
• Maintain constant situational awareness and scene safety
• Ensure accurate, detailed, and timely electronic patient care documentation
• Maintain a clean, fully stocked, and inspection-ready unit
• Communicate effective with dispatch, hospital personnel, and healthcare partners
• Adhere strictly to safety standards, compliance requirements, and company policies

What We’re Looking For

• Current Ohio Paramedic certification or eligibility for reciprocity
• Strong clinical judgment and advanced assessment skills
• Ability to remain alert, decisive, and composed during overnight shifts
• Experience managing high-acuity patients independently
• Excellent leadership, communication, and teamwork abilities
• Professional, accountable, and reliable work ethic
• Commitment to consistent night shift scheduling
• Night shift Paramedics must demonstrate independence, resilience, and clinical confidence while maintaining compassionate patient care.

Why You’ll Love It Here (Full‑Time Benefits)

• Multiple medical plan options, Vista Wellness (physician/pharmacy), Dental, Vision
• Generous PTO and paid holidays
• 401(k) with company contribution; Life and disability coverage
• Tuition reimbursement up to $15,000 and student loan forgiveness programs

We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
