Job location: aboard a cruise shipFull Time
Job Description:
The Paramedic is a part of the medical team aboard a cruise ship and works alongside experienced nurses and doctors. The Paramedic is the first line of medical care aboard, responds to emergency situations, treats the sick and injured and then continues that care in the medical center as part of cruise ship's medical team.
Job requirements: Nationally registered paramedics with minimum 2 years of paramedic experience and current professional certifications.
Paramedics are responsible for providing high standards of individualized routine and emergency care to guests and crew. Paramedics act as first responders, triaging emergency calls, assessing and treating on the scene, and transferring patients to the shipboard medical center for definitive care. Using specific patient group directives, paramedics can practice autonomously under the authority of doctors, assessing patients and providing treatment and advice for specific conditions. In addition to first response duties, paramedics work closely with shipboard nurses and doctors to attend to patients attending daily walk-in clinics.
Paramedics also perform various technical and non-clinical administrative tasks that support the efficient and safe operation of the medical center under the direction and supervision of the Senior Nurse. Additional duties include equipment checks, medicines and inventory management, participation in drills, audits, inspections, and training of other crew members. Technical skills are learned and practiced on board, such as X-rays acquisition and performing a wide array of laboratory tests and other procedures.
Our medical staff continuously provides a high level of customer service, maintaining a professional, dignified, friendly, assertive, and polite manner, demonstrating performance consistent with the Vision, Mission, and Strategic Plan of the organization.
