🚑 HOW DO I JOIN FAYETTE AMBULANCE SERVICE? 🚑
Have you ever thought about becoming an EMT, but weren’t sure where to start?
You don’t need to already be an EMT to join Fayette Ambulance Service! We can help you through the process from joining our team to finding an EMT class that works with your schedule.
Here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Come Meet the Crew
Attend our monthly meeting on the first Wednesday of the month at 6:00 p.m. at the Fayette Ambulance Station, directly across from Dollar General. Meet the crew, learn about the service, ask questions, and see if EMS might be a good fit for you.
2️⃣ Join the Team
Prospective members are voted on by the crew and then complete an employment application. Because we are a municipal ambulance service, our compensated volunteers are City of Fayette employees, so final hiring approval comes from the City Council.
3️⃣ Get CPR Certified
Once approved, you’ll need Basic Life Support (BLS) CPR certification. We can help you get that completed.
4️⃣ Start Getting Experience
Depending on your age and driving experience, you may be able to begin responding as an ambulance driver while working toward your EMT certification. This gives you the opportunity to start learning alongside experienced crew members.
5️⃣ Become an EMT — We’ll Help! 🎓
We will work with you to find an EMT class that fits your schedule. Fayette Ambulance Service can pay for your EMT education in exchange for a one-year service commitment.
💵 Compensated Volunteer Positions
• $15/hour while on calls
• $16/hour once certified as an EMT
• Training and hands-on experience
• Opportunity to serve your community while building valuable healthcare experience
No previous EMS or healthcare experience is required. We’re looking for people who are dependable, willing to learn, and interested in helping their community.
🚑 Interested but not ready to commit? Come check us out!
This Wednesday at 6:00 p.m., we are holding our monthly rig checks at the ambulance station. We’ll go through both ambulances to make sure equipment is stocked, supplies are not expired, and everything is where it belongs. It’s also how newer crew members learn where equipment is located.
You’re welcome to stop by, meet the crew, see our equipment, and get a firsthand look at Fayette Ambulance Service.
You don’t have to be an EMT to take the first step. Sometimes the first step is simply walking through the door. 🚑
