People are the biggest drivers of our success, and we are excited to continue building a healthier Saskatchewan and Alberta together. 

 *

Medavie Health Services is a national leader in primary health care solutions and the largest contracted provider of emergency management services in Canada. Together with Medavie Blue Cross, we are part of Medavie, a health solutions partner committed to improving the wellbeing of Canadians.

With a growing network of 5,400 health care professionals in six provinces, Medavie Health Services has a long history of operating ground and air ambulance services, medical communications, Mobile Integrated Health/Community Paramedicine programs, 911 Public Safety, 811 Telehealth, home health care, as well as clinical training.

We are proud to invest in communities to help address some of Canada’s most pressing physical and mental health care challenges.

As an employee of Medavie Health Services we are accountable to our patients and coworkers by participating in and supporting all safety related initiatives, as well as acting in a manner that fosters a culture that focuses on patient safety and a safe and respectful workplace.

The Community Paramedic (CP) will work with primary health care providers (family physicians, hospitals, clinics etc...) and be mobile in the community providing care to patients in their home or community setting. This would include non-emergency (non-9-1-1) calls and regularly scheduled visits for clients. The CP will work alone in a response capable vehicle and be responsible for, but not limited to, direct patient care, incorporating advanced assessment, consultation, and treatment. The CP is expected to execute independent critical thinking skills in order to deliver appropriate care that is consistent with their current scope of practice and to work well in a team with direct medical oversight. As part of the patient care team, the CP will also determine the most appropriate additional health care resources required if any, in continuing the patient’s treatment.  The CP will be an integral part of the continuum of care, acting as a liaison with physicians, nurses, and the greater medical community in meeting patient needs. The successful applicant will occasionally perform duties in relation to their ability and scope as a licensed Paramedic. It is expected that even in the CP position the successful applicant may be called upon to perform these duties at any point throughout a shift.
