Job description

Providing Superior Emergency and Transportation Services to Those in Need.

Position: Paramedic Critical Care/Specialty Care Paramedic

Location: Indianapolis, IN

Department: Field Operations

FLSA Status: Non-Exempt

Trans-Care thrives as a “customer service” culture. We define the “customer” differently than some in our industry in that we consider not only our patients our customers, but also the people who ask for our help in transporting the patient from one place to another. We offer superior customer services not just in the ambulance but also on the telephone, through scheduling software, and true partnerships with facilities and healthcare providers.

A Critical Care/Specialty Care EMT-Paramedic provides the highest level of medical care and transportation to patients who access the EMS System. The Paramedic brings the hospital Emergency Department to the patient’s side and acts as the eyes and ears of the emergency room physician. In a non-emergency situation, the medical response team provides transportation to patients who require an ambulance because of a medical condition and can continue the treatments that the patient received inside the hospital environment with limited or no interruption during transportation. Teamwork at Trans-Care is pivotal to a strong EMS system.

What are the Job requirements?

To apply for the Critical Care/Specialty Care Paramedic position, you must have the following:

1. Valid IN State Driver’s License
2. State of Indiana EMT-Paramedic Certification
