Supplemental information

Additional Information

• Schedule Weekday schedule; specific days and hours established at hire based on organizational need and candidate fit. Schedule is consistent so crews know when this position is available but may be structured as four 10-hour days, five 8-hour days, or an equivalent arrangement. Schedule flexibility may be considered to attract qualified candidates.

Benefits

• Health Coverage
  • Comprehensive Medical Insurance: Full-time staff are provided robust medical health coverage designed to mitigate high out-of-pocket costs typical of healthcare and high-acuity medical environments.
  • Additional Coverage: Dental and vision coverage options are typically integrated into the full-time employee health package.
  • Wellness Support: Job postings emphasize supportive health environments, which often include targeted wellness frameworks or stipends to help manage the physical and mental demands of mountain EMS work.
• Retirement Plans
  • Robust Retirement Options: UPRHSD provides structured retirement plan options to help field medics, administrative staff, and leadership build long-term financial security. (As a Colorado special district, many similar entities align with state or competitive private-sector matching/pension frameworks to support long-term retention).
• Holidays & Time Off
  • Paid Time Off (PTO): Generous, structured paid leave policies are built into full-time contracts.
  • Burnout Prevention: Given the intense nature of 24/7 emergency services and mountain rescue operations, PTO structures are intended to give personnel adequate rest and recovery time between shifts.

Why Work Here?

• Pioneering "Beyond the Ambulance" Medicine: Unlike traditional services that only run lights-and-sirens to an ER, UPRHSD gives paramedics and EMTs the platform to practice true Mobile Integrated Healthcare through their dedicated Community Paramedic programProviders handle everything from complex mental health interventions to in-home preventative treatments for residents who don't need the emergency room.
• True Clinical Autonomy in High-Stakes Environments: Operating across a sprawling mountain district means providers regularly manage high-acuity trauma and multi-county corridor responses where critical thinking and advanced field autonomy are genuinely utilized, rather than just following rigid city-transit protocols.
• Special District Support & Stability: Because it is an independent tax-funded special district rather than a private, for-profit transfer service, it provides local government-backed stability while offering tailored perks like fully funded healthcare packages and targeted wellness stipends meant to counter operational burn-out.
