Paramedic Wanted in Kalmar County

We are looking for someone who wants to work in a varied environment with us in the ambulance service in Kalmar County.

Prehospital care requires competence to provide good, effective, and safe close care to all citizens. This involves providing prehospital care to patients of all ages who may be affected by respiratory and circulatory issues, unconsciousness, pain, expectant mothers, and/or mental instability. In the prehospital setting, assessments are made, and the patient is examined and then treated on-site and/or during transport to a healthcare facility as needed. The ambulance service transports patients between healthcare facilities locally, regionally, and nationally, primarily and secondarily depending on the patient's assessed care needs.

During the summer of 2025, you have the opportunity to become part of our ambulance team. Selection is ongoing, so do not wait to apply.

You will work day/evening/night/weekend shifts and will be based at one of our stations in the county. Please indicate in your application which station(s) you wish to work at. You will be employed within the health and medical care administration on a temporary contract, but there may be opportunities for extension after the holiday period.
