Sherborn is ILS, so you wouldn't be working at your level. I believe they do 12s, not 24s, but as others have said, very low volume.

I remember when people were saying this wasn't going to happen...I see Welesley and Framingham dropping AMR this year too

The company in question is Medavie EMS. It looks to be a complicated organization, so it'll be a bit before I have anything coherent to say.

Figure i'd bump this thread,
Brewster is taking over Plymouth soon. So I assume they'll be looking for people down there to help make the transition.

I guess AMR is out of there...the article above states that they are leaving in 120 days...but the EMS rumor mill states it might be sooner than later.
An interesting quote was: “Last week, they let go all of the area operations managers in the state...That left just one individual to service the entire state"
h34r:Hmmmmm
Brewster will certainly be hiring in the near future. In addition to the Plymouth contract, I've been told that an additional hospital contract is coming as well, likely on the southcoast.

I've seen ads for them on Craigslist but the adds always say "Russian speakers preferred."
I have known two EMTs who work, or worked there, and I even think there may be some lurking around here who have worked at Rapid. My info is a little old, but last i knew, the company does only dialysis, and only a few patients. Crews are known to spend their time when not not transporting at best buy, playing video games. Friends boast about never doing truck checkouts, real pcrs or doing real calls... although ems and tms should be separated.... this is many degrees removed from ems.
I agree this is a good place to start... but not necessarily good skills for 911. I know someone who left Rapid and went directly to Med school, and it served him well, it seems...

Brewster just picked up the Altrius/Harvard Vanguard Health contract and will be hiring. I think they are looking to add a mix of 10-12 ALS and BLS ambulances. Get your apps in now regardless if you have experience or not. They'll teach you the "Brewster Way" don't you worry.
Also they recently started doing 911 in Plymouth however not much hiring outside of AMR employees occurred from my understanding.

Hey hello.... I just got my emt-B certificate and I am at the same situation that you were. Even though I have a CNA certificate as well no one wants to hire a person without experience. I will be so happy if you can give my any advice. Thank you for your time.

I would apply everywhere. Eascare, Fallon, Brewster, Mccall, Lifeline, Cataldo, Rapid, Armstrong, and there is more. If you know anyone that works for any ambulance company talk to them cause one thing I've learned, it's not what you know, it's who you know. See if you can do some ride along time with a company that way you can get your foot in the door. A lot of these places you have to go into to apply. Go in and ask if there is any one you can talk to, Human Resources, Supervisor, etc. try to get face time with someone there so they know who you are. Follow up on your application. Call them from time to time if you haven't heard anything, that way they know you are interested and ready to work. The more available you are to work the more likely they are to hire you.
I hope this helps. Good luck.

Hello chrisp368.
Thank you for your post. Yes I did apply at many ambulances around Boston. Fallon ambulance reject my application without explanation, which was very rude and unprofessional. Life line ambulance is the best ambulance because they are giving a Chance to people who doesn't have an experience. Thank you so so much life line u are the best. I am so happy. My first day is next Wednesday , I am looking forward to meet all of the EMTs and paramedics over there. I can't wait to start helping people. I wish luck to all of the new EMTs. Don't give up and keep sending applications ......

Congrats on getting a job! Know that many places that have online applications are horrendous at contacting people so bear that in mind. Good luck at LifeLine.

Good Luck Ini4ka!
Oh and for all of you following the latest in Ambulance contracts;
Cataldo took Action's contract at the AJ in Newburyport. They seem to be hiring a couple more people as well as liaison between the hospital and the company. While the Liaison will most likely be "in house", I bet they will hire a couple more people to ensure that the transition goes over smooth.

Anyone have any info on Pro EMS in Cambridge? I've heard a lot of mixed reviews. They seem pretty good and being in Cambridge they're probably pretty busy. Any chance they'd hire a brand new basic? I also was interested in working there because employees get 50% off of their medic school.

Mixed reviews?
I'm told Pro prefers to hire raw EMTs, because it keeps them from having to untrain bad habits. They are, by far, the best private company inside 128, but perhaps not the best to work for if you're looking for a comfortable, steady job; my impression is that they wear out a lot of their employees. Apply.

I did some of my internship with pro. It was a great service and all of my preceptors were great. The 24 hours shift were killer though. It may be different now but they ran 3- 24hour trucks (3als or 2 als-1bls) and would have anywhere between 7 and 12 peak trucks on. During the day it was around 8-12 and most all were ALS. I averaged 14-18 calls per shift.
