Emergency Medical Technician - Basic

Emergency Medical Technician (EMT-B & AEMT) – Physicians Ambulance | Cleveland, OH $19.00 – $28.00/hr | Full-Time & Part-Time

Education, Equipment, and Leadership That Elevates

At Physicians Ambulance, we've spent 50 years building a private EMS service where EMTs are treated as the healthcare professionals they are — not just "drivers" filling a seat. We're a third-generation, family-owned company operating across 22 Ohio counties, and we hold ourselves to a standard that shows in everything we do: from the condition of our fleet to the depth of our clinical education program to the career pathways we've built for every member of our team.

If you're ready to grow, perform, and be genuinely valued, we want to hear from you.

What We Offer Our EMTs

A Fleet That's Ready — Every Shift. Our vehicles are work-ordered daily, equipment is properly calibrated, and units are fully stocked and organized before you ever turn a wheel. You'll have everything you need to do your job at the highest level — because that's the standard we hold ourselves to.

A Career Path, Not Just a Job. We believe in growing our own. PAS offers structured advancement from EMT-B to AEMT to Paramedic and beyond — with bridge programs, and scheduling flexibility built in. We also offer Field Training Officer (FTO) certification, leadership development, and specialized training in event medicine and other field-extensions. Where you start here doesn't have to be where you finish.

Real Clinical Support Behind You. Our on-site Accredited Learning Center is staffed by six credentialed EMS Instructors. You'll have access to a dedicated clinical education team, free refresher courses through educational partnerships, and the guidance of exceptional medical direction on every call.

Compensation That Reflects Your Value. We pay 10% above the national average, with an experience-based wage matrix and additional compensation for AEMT certification. Full-time pay boosts, differential pay for mid, night, weekend, and event shifts, and a merit-based review process that rewards performance — not just seniority.
