In Värmland, there are 12 ambulance stations operating a total of 24 ambulances, three assessment units, and nine patient transport vehicles. The operation also staffs healthcare personnel on service line buses. Close collaboration occurs with the air ambulance and emergency physician car stationed at Karlstad Airport. The helicopter doctor provides medical support to the ambulance services.

The county's population structure, densely populated in the south and rural in the north, combined with large distances, presents a challenge from an accessibility perspective. The ambulance services are certified according to ISO 9001:2015, quality management system.

Personal qualities are highly valued. You must have a good ability to work independently as the job involves working alone. You are secure, stable, and possess self-awareness, adapting your behavior to the situation. Experience from similar work is an advantage.
