Shared Health leads the planning and coordinates the integration of patient-centered clinical and preventive health services across Manitoba. The organization also delivers some province-wide health services and supports centralized administrative and business functions for Manitoba health organizations.

Reporting directly to the Manager, ERS Operations, [North, East, South or West] Zone for daily operational concerns, and indirectly to the Provincial Manager Community Paramedicine for Community Paramedic Program direction, the Community Paramedic as a member of the ERS team is responsible for the provision of proactive client care within residential, community, and other non-traditional care settings. This role requires the Community Paramedic to have extensive knowledge of pre-hospital emergency care and additional primary health care functions.

This position will function to address the needs of individuals accessing emergency services in a proactive way, and provide an alternative model of care in the pre-hospital environment that more appropriately meets the clinical and social needs of clients. The Community Paramedic focuses on promoting the client’s access to the right care, delivered by the right provider, at the right time, resulting in the best outcomes and the most effective and efficient use of resources.

The Community Paramedic provides assessment, clinical planning, and case management to clients referred to the program. They identify gaps in current service provision for clients and liaise with community organizations such as primary health care providers, home care services, social service agencies, and multiple other allied health agencies to improve access to community health services and avoid emergency room visits and over reliance on emergency services.

This model provides a more sustainable, integrated, client-centered response to individuals accessing emergency services for non-urgent medical concerns.

The Community Paramedic will be required to complete formal and recognized educational programming and demonstrate competence in the provision of health education, clinical assessment and monitoring, point of care diagnostics, and treatment modalities within or beyond the scope of work and role of a traditional emergency care and transport paramedic.

At all times, this role will be expected to conduct themselves professionally, ethically, empathetically and demonstrates commitment to the mission, vision, values, goals, objectives, and policies of Shared Health.
