Ever wonder what it's like to be an EMT, AEMT, or Paramedic at Cumberland Goodwill EMS? We're a community-based organization that's also one of just 6 nationally accredited services in Pennsylvania, equipped with patient care and clinical decision-making tools designed to make a difference when caring for our neighbors.
Apply NowOur service is staffed 24/7, 365 responding to over 12,000 calls for service each year. We are a 911 emergency response service, and over 2/3rds of all the calls for service are emergency in nature. Being close to UPMC Carlisle and the upcoming Wellspan Carlisle Hospital, our remaining volume consists of discharges and inter-facility transports from those facilities. We believe in the philosophy of "One-band, one sound," meaning our integrated emergency response team uses the talents of EMTs, AEMTs, and Paramedics and other prehospital professionals on-board Ambulances, Intermediate Units, and Mobile Intensive Care Units to serve the community.
Work Schedule
Emergency response crews typically work a 12-hour shift on a fixed Pitman-style schedule, allowing crew members to know when they have off well in advance. We also hire a limited number of "floating" positions to help fill vacancies. These positions only get their schedule a month in advance. While we do not pay shift differentials for night or day shifts, our float staff do receive higher pay for having less notice of their shift schedule than other staff members.
Full-Time Benefits
For all full-time employees at Cumberland Goodwill, we offer:
- 100% health insurance premiums paid (including for your family) starting day one of employment
- 6.25 hours of paid time off per pay period to start (increases after first year)
- 5% employer match to your 401k contributions
- Educational benefits and scholarship opportunities
Incentives
Full-time applicants for employment are also eligible for sign-on bonuses, or we'll take over/buy-out contract obligations from other agencies where you may have a standing commitment. Our usual incentive equals about 3 months worth of housing payments in Carlisle, and we're happy to work with our local partners to help you relocate to the area if considering a change of scenery.
Paramedics get an added benefit of tuition reimbursement assistance for any completed degree from any university. Paramedic pay currently starts at $25/hour.
Part-Time & Volunteer
Not looking for full-time employment? We also have part-time positions available from time-to-time. Please understand, however, that part-time employees must be able to provide a minimum commitment of shifts each month that will be discussed with senior management if you are interviewed for a position. Otherwise, we encourage those who might struggle meeting these requirements to join us as a volunteer.
