als vs. bls
Associated Ambulance runs two different service levels. Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulances are staffed by an ACP and PCP. Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulances are staffed by two PCPs or one PCP and one EMR.
what is core flex?
Rural Alberta runs the majority of communities under the core-flex model. This means your shift is for a full 24hr block of time. You are paid for a combination of regular wage and on-call wage, and qualify for overtime if you are busy.
A full time rotation is 4 days on then 4 days off. When on shift, you live in the station if you do not already live in the community.
Our ambulance stations have all of the amenities of home to make your time on shift as comfortable as possible.
Rural EMS provides for a strong sense of community where you can maximize your work-life balance by living and working from home . If working the core-flex model and you live in community, you may choose to respond from home providing there are not delays in assembling to provide patient care with your partner.
12hr Shift Model
Some communities support a 12hr shift model. These models are based on 12hr day shifts and 12hr night shifts.
IFT/NET Shifts
Associated Ambulance is contracted to complete Interfacility Transfers (IFT) in Edmonton and Red Deer. To fill the demands of this position, we offer day, night, and weekend shifts with various hours on shift.
