Colorado Paramedic gigs...

[Fox800]

Do you guys know of any Colorado agencies that are currently hiring? I'm moving to Colorado between now and July and I'm looking for a 911 paramedic job. I've already applied to Denver Health, Pridemark/Rural Metro, Northglenn, and Platte Valley Medical Center EMS. Currently working on Clear Creek EMS. I'll be living in Parker so I'm looking for something within a reasonable driving distance. I don't want to primarily do IFT and I don't want to work in a system where EMS is subordinate to ALS fire first respondse.

Any other ideas?

Then what in the bloody blue flying Freak Brothers did you apply to Rural Metro for? LOL! Dude. Aurora Fire has medical control, nontransporting ALS fire department, and Rural Metro butts heads with them hard core. At least, that's the way it's been ever since I've been aware, and I did my clinicals with Rural Metro.

If you're living in Parker, have you looked at Colorado Springs AMR? Really not that much further of a drive if you think about commute time through Denver to get up to Boulder/Longmont for Pridemark, which I see you've applied to already... there's Action Care (Action scare)- but they're primarily IFT. I don't know what Castle Rock's gig is...

Looks like you hit most of the major ones, IMHO. I'm more familiar now with the folks up north, as that's more of where I am... if you wanted to drive to Northern CO, there's Thompson Valley in Loveland and PVHS in Fort Collins/Loveland (who's hiring for FLIGHT if that would float your boat, application pool currently open...)

Good luck to you! Got your CO cert all taken care of?

I really applied for Pridemark, which is owned by Rural/Metro so it's a moot point (same application). Pridemark has the 911 contract for Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Edgewater, and Fairmount.

I think Northern CO may be too much of a drive. I've thought about Colorado Springs AMR but I've heard mixed things from my two friends who worked there. CSFD goes on every call and I don't want to deal with that drama.

I submitted all of my paperwork yesterday, hopefully I'll get my certification in a few weeks.
