Just for clarification: do you want EMTs, or paramedics? I ask because the first half of your posting says EMTs, while the requirements mandate a paramedic certification.

And this is to work as a medical worker in a correctional facility, correct? Do you work with a nurse, under a doctor, etc, or is it just you?

 

[AMG Healthcare Services]

Thank you for your interest and prompt response DrParasite. I apologize, the position is for EMTs, the government documentation label the position as "Paramedic/EMT" so when I copied and pasted the job summary it took it as is, apologies again.

This site is a good start...there are a ton of Facebook Paramedic Job groups or just EMS pages in general...a post or two there and you may be flooded with more CVs than you can handle.
