Career Details
Thank you for considering Aetna Ambulance Service, Inc. The following is a brief description of what to expect at Aetna, touching upon the major points of the position:
Aetna provides both routine and emergency transportation and paramedic intercept services in the Greater Hartford area.
Aetna provides emergency coverage to the Towns of Wethersfield, Rocky Hill and the southern portion of the City of Hartford. Coverage is provided to all of the surrounding communities as it is needed or requested.
Aetna Paramedics also provide intercept service to any other ambulances traveling through or towards the district. As a result, Aetna works very closely with several EMT level ambulance corps and the Hartford Fire Department, on a daily basis.
You must be over 18 years of age and available to work a variety of shifts including weekends, nights and holidays.
Students, homemakers and new EMS graduates are encouraged to apply. Reasonable flexibility in your schedule is a requirement of employment.
In addition to emergency care, Aetna provides comprehensive routine transportation - which can range from BLS to critical ALS patients. Aetna provides a variety of transfer services including dialysis, radiation, rehabilitation, psychiatric, and long distance transports. Patients can be transferred with any number of interventions, from simple medical monitoring to procedures as invasive as chest tubes, artificial ventilation and multiple medication infusions.
Aetna is also often called upon to transport patients with supporting staff including patients-in-custody, critical pediatrics, med-flight crews, organ transplant crews, high risk obstetrics and patients with their family members.
Most shifts are 12 hours in length, but eight and ten hour shifts are available. There are also special shift assignments available for such services as long distance transfers, sports related and other event standbys and peak hour coverage. These events, combined with periodic open shifts, and "pager crews" offer numerous opportunities to accumulate hours, and often, overtime.
Physical Performance Test for EMS Providers
A simple physical agility test is required prior to employment.
The treatment and transport of patients in the hospital and out of hospital environment poses serious physical demands on workers in the ambulance industry. This is a physically challenging position involving the lifting of heavy patients on stretchers, 'stair-chairs', backboards, etc. You must be able to lift a 250-pound patient on a 75-pound stretcher into an ambulance with one partner.
Routine obstacles such as curbs, stairs and narrow hallways can prevent the stretcher from being rolled, thus requiring the ambulance crew to lift the entire weight of the patient and equipment. Furthermore, normal body weight distribution means that the worker at the patient's head often carries 55-60% of the combined patient/equipment weight.
To reduce the risk of injuries to its employees and patients, Aetna Ambulance Service has designed a physical performance test. This test is directly derived from EMS job functions that EMS Providers must perform when lifting and moving a 200 pound patient. This test, using specialized equipment is an accurate simulation of the flexibility, strength and endurance required to work on an ambulance.
