Schertz EMS is hiring Paramedics, both Full and Part Time

[Guest guest]

The City of Schertz EMS has openings for highly motivated Full Time and

Part-Time Paramedics that desire to join a successful team. Do not miss

this opportunity to join the ranks of one of the premier EMS

organizations in Texas.

Schertz EMS prides itself on its exceptional equipment, modern

protocols, and a team of highly motivated care providers that respond to

over 7,000 911 requests annually from four stations over 220 square

miles of suburban and rural communities just outside San .

These Paramedic positions require: A current Texas DSHS Certification or

Licensure as a Paramedic. Candidates will be required to have a current

health care provider CPR certification, ACLS certification, BTLS or

PHTLS and a Pediatric Care Course. All candidates will be required to

show proof of the above certifications.

Prior Emergency Medical Service experience with emergency vehicle

driving desired but we have had great success with brand new Paramedics

with no experience at all, so feel free to apply and we will give you an

opportunity. Applicants must have a high school diploma or GED

equivalent.

Successful Full-Time applicants will be assigned to one of our 24-48

hour equivalent shifts that provide ample time off and a schedule ideal

for furthering your education with consistent days off during the week

and 4-day weekends every 3 weeks. Successful Part-Time applicants will

be required to submit 96 hours of availability monthly, although

assigned hours may be more or less than this amount.

Now, for the most important part of the email...starting pay will be

approximately $39,000 without working anything other than your assigned

shift. Our benefit package is unbelievable with all benefits for you

being paid by the city. These include health (PPO), dental, vision, an

Employee Assistance Program, Life Insurance, Long-Term Disability, and

then a variety of ala carte insurances you can pick up for a small

pittance. In addition to this is one of the best retirement plans in the

state. Our retirement is through the Texas Municipal Retirement System

(TMRS) and all Full-Time employees are required to put in 7% of your

bi-weekly pay and the City matches that 2:1...in other words every

payday, an amount equal to 21% of your salary goes into retirement. You

become vested at 5 years and are eligible to retire at 20 years.

Part-timers, your hourly rate will be $16.44 an hour and if you work

enough, you too are eligible to participate in TMRS.

Qualified candidates will be notified of testing dates after the close

of the applications. Applications are available at

www.schertz.com/current/employment.asp and will be accepted at the

Municipal Offices, 1400 Schertz Parkway in Schertz, Texas 78154. The

application must be complete, signed, and received by the closeout date

(a fax copy is fine by the closeout date as long as the original is

received within 5 days after the closeout date.

The closeout date is October 15, 2008. The City of Schertz is an Equal

Opportunity Employer.

Thanks and I look forward to meeting you!
