Paramedic-in-Charge (911/EMS)

Formed in August 2015, RESQRS (pronounced “Rescuers”) originally provided standby medical services for local sports and events. RESQRS has now expanded those services to non-emergency ambulance discharges, flight team transports, special operations medical standbys, and 911 "First Response'' emergency medical services.

RESQRS provides special operations ambulance standbys and emergency transportation services for air medical flight teams in the Greater Pittsburgh area and surrounding regions. RESQRS seeks highly competent and expertly skilled pre-hospital patient care providers held to the highest degree of accountability and excellence.

Our full-time Paramedic-in-Charge (911/EMS) employees support the advanced life support 911 emergency & non-emergency interfacility ambulance transport service based in Greene Twp, Beaver County, PA.

Greene Twp is a rural community with a low call volume. Qualified applicants MUST be able to work independently from an ambulance in a rural setting. Preferred applicants MUST have a minimum of 3 years experience in emergency scene response as a Paramedic. Non-emergency transport experience does not qualify.

Job Overview:

Workload includes supervision of yourself and any additional crew members on-shift or on-scene.
