Part time Ambulance?

[Animal]

What company usually lets new EMTs work part time? I am stacked with school this upcoming semester so I was hoping I could work 20-24 hours a week. Do you guys know of any company that does that? I am in the San Diego area.

AMR.



I'm a part-timer. They "require" 4 shifts a month, atleast that's what I've been told.

I have not yet seen or heard of a service that only hired full timers.

so AMR only does 24 hour shifts then?

Well someone told me alot of the companies here require you to work full time when you first get certified. Then after 6 months you can switch to part time. Is that common in most places?

Usually you start out part time

Most privates start you out part time.

I have yet to meet a private company that staffs only full timers. The reason is that they have to pay benefits for full timers so they'd prefer to staff with part-timers as possible.

Exactly


You may be only part time but working full time hours. That is maybe where you're getting confused?

No, they do 8, 12, 16 and some 24s, it all depends on the shift.

You can do one 8 hour shift a week if you wish *from what was explained to me when I got my pt gig*

Yeah well my goal is to work 20-24 hours a week. So maybe 2 12 hour shifts a week.
