VA Contract | High-Acuity Transport | 12-Hour Shifts (Days & Nights)

We are a private ambulance service expanding rapidly in Southern Illinois, and we are building a team of Critical Care Paramedics who can operate at a higher level. This is a role for professionals who are confident in their skills, comfortable with responsibility, and motivated by meaningful work.

• Additional incentives tied to performance and reliability
• Full benefits package including health, dental, and vision
• Ongoing education and certification support
• Manage ventilators, IV pumps, and advanced pharmacological interventions
• Deliver ICU-level care during interfacility transport
• Communicate effectively with hospital staff and receiving facilities
• Maintain accurate, professional documentation
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy and accountability

Minimum Qualifications

• Current Paramedic license (Illinois or ability to obtain)
• Critical Care certification (CCP-C or FP-C) preferred or willingness to obtain
