The ideal candidate is:

  • Compassionate — You genuinely care about helping people.
  • Calm under pressure — You can assess situations quickly and make sound decisions.
  • Guest-focused — You understand that excellent medical care and excellent customer service go hand in hand.

  • Great with children and families — You bring a friendly, reassuring presence to what can sometimes be a stressful experience.

Schedule & Availability

This position supports park operations 7 days a week, up to 365 days a year, with park hours that may range from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM.

Candidates must be available to work:

  • At least 4 days per month during park operating hours
  • At least 2 weekend days per month
  • A total of 6 days per month
  • Flexible shifts, including evenings, weekends, and holidays

Attendance is an essential function of this position.

Safety & Professionalism

Safety is at the heart of everything we do. You’ll be expected to follow all applicable laws, company policies, health and safety procedures, and safe working practices. You must only operate equipment for which you have been properly trained and must promptly report incidents and cooperate with investigations when necessary.

Patient well-being, confidentiality, safety, and professionalism must remain a priority in every interaction.

Join the Team

If you’re an experienced EMT or Paramedic who loves helping people, enjoys working with children and families, and wants a role where no two days are exactly alike, we’d love to hear from you.
