About The Position

Medavie Health Services West (MHSW) is seeking four Advanced Care Paramedics (ACP) to fill casual vacancies as a Community Paramedicine Paramedic. The Community Paramedic (CP) will work with primary health care providers (family physicians, hospitals, clinics etc.) and be mobile in the community providing care to patients in their home or community setting. This would include non-emergency (non-9-1-1) calls and regularly scheduled visits for clients. The CP will work alone in a response capable vehicle and be responsible for, but not limited to, direct patient care, incorporating advanced assessment, consultation, and treatment. The CP is expected to execute independent critical thinking skills in order to deliver appropriate care that is consistent with their current scope of practice and to work well in a team with direct medical oversight. As part of the patient care team, the CP will also determine the most appropriate additional health care resources required if any, in continuing the patient’s treatment. The CP will be an integral part of the continuum of care, acting as a liaison with physicians, nurses, and the greater medical community in meeting patient needs. The successful applicant will occasionally perform duties in relation to their ability and scope as a licensed Paramedic. It is expected that even in the CP position the successful applicant may be called upon to perform these duties at any point throughout a shift.
