Reimagining
Pre-Hospital Care
Working with Kern County EMS, we're taking a fresh approach to delivering pre-hospital care with tools like Tele911 and paramedic first responder units reserving our paramedics for true medical emergencies.
Ideal Work/Life Balance
Our Metro crews alternate 3 and 4-day work weeks (12-hour shifts), giving them more flexibility and shorter work weeks. Rural station personnel works two 48-hour rotations (two on/two off), then after their third rotation, enjoy eight consecutive days off.
People Centric
We work to ensure our paramedics and EMTs have the equipment, support, and opportunities to do what they do best every day, including a pro-active wellness program!
Come Build Your Career Where You Can Build Your Life!
We’ve Increased Our Starting Pay
Our starting wages for paramedics and EMTs are well above California’s median pay of $36,330 (EMTs) and $48,880 (Paramedics).
Hall Paramedics:
Starting wage is between $65,000 to $85,000 DOE
Hall EMTs:
Start at $46,025.60 annually; DOE
You also have the opportunity to pick up extra shifts (no mandatory overtime).
What’s it like to be a Hall Ambulance Paramedic or EMT?
It starts with putting on the iconic Hall Ambulance uniform with the orange, white, and blue epaulets signifying you are an EMS professional ready to tend to your patient’s needs.
Our modern fleet of ambulances painted in their signature Omaha Orange with a checkerboard blue safety pattern commands attention. Their interior patient suites are outfitted with details that can only be appreciated by those paramedics who have worked in other systems. Our crews value having great equipment and a maintained fleet which allows them to focus on delivering exemplary patient care.
Those working in our Metro system appreciate arriving to work to find their ambulance is fully stocked, detailed, and ready to roll on whatever the day brings.
While we work hard, we have a good time and recognize success with events like our annual Founder’s Awards, EMS Week Company Picnic, Labor Day BBQ, and Years of Service Recognition.
