The Center for Sensory and Complex Disabilities seeks to hire Overnight EMT Staff for Summer Programs 2025:
Overnight EMT Staff are primarily responsible for the medical well-being of program participants during the overnight hours. The EMT will remain awake during their shift, with the support of another overnight staff member, to ensure the safety of our program participants. The EMT will monitor program participants as necessary to be sure they are receiving proper treatments or interventions with the goal of maintaining their health and overall medical well-being. The EMT will perform basic first aid and other medical treatments as prescribed by Professional Emergency Medical Technician Standards of the State of New Jersey.
Our programs are referral-based and run in partnership with the New Jersey Commission for the Blind and Visually Impaired. We currently coordinate three Transition Programs for high school students who have vision loss. All of our programs focus on preparation for employment, person-centered planning, community-based instruction, social skills, self-advocacy, independent living, and recreation and leisure skills. Our STEPS Program is for individuals with complex disabilities who are preparing for a customized employment plan after they transition from high school. The SUCCESS Program is for individuals who are looking to attend post-secondary educational programs. Our CREATE Program is a blend of both of the above programs and is designed for individuals who may need a bit of additional support or time to help them prepare for life after high school
