Working at our employee-owned company is more than just a great career - it’s an investment in yourself. Our mission is to drive personal and community transformation by empowering students to make a positive and enduring life change. We are consistently searching for like-minded compassionate professionals who strive to be the best in their respective fields. Our top candidates share our commitment to helping students build the skills to create a future of which they can be proud.

We are currently seeking a EMT Program Director to join our team. will be responsible for the direction of curriculum and instruction of the EMT Program at US Colleges. The Program Director will act as a liaison to other departments and employees that are working in concert to properly market to and enroll prospective EMT students through training and information sharing.

Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities

• Curriculum Management- The laws of EMS are constantly changing and evolving. California's EMS Directives are a combination of both state and local guidelines, meaning there is a constant update needed to maintain compliance.
• Instructor Acquisition/Evaluation/Scheduling- It is the responsibility of the Program Director to find qualified candidates to teach the course as lead instructors and skills instructors. In conjunction with the internal resumes that are generated from online, public outreach is necessary to find candidates for this position. As most of the candidates will be part time/industry professionals, each cohort will have to be scheduled, in advance, for the availability of the individual instructors. Instructors will be evaluated by the Program Director by sitting in on lectures and evaluating student progress in testing and pass rates
• Lead Instructor- While there will be a cadre of instructors to assist in teaching the curriculum, the Program Director will be the Lead Instructor, who's license is on file with the applicable County, and will most likely be responsible for teaching most of the class sessions.
• Marketing/Admissions Support- The EMT Program is new to the US College system. As such, some of the marketing and admissions staff need additional training and support to find the right students and to adjust the ways in which leads are generated to ensure that Admissions Counselors are not calling potential students who have no interest in becoming an EMT.
• Branch Campus Management- The main campus for the School of EMS is currently San Diego, however other campuses may have an approved program that requires additional work and training to become fully functioning program to attract students. As other campuses wish to add the School of EMS to their catalog, it will be the task of the Program Director, in conjunction with the Director of Education, to create a program that is approved by the local governing body and bring the foundation of the program to that campus.
