Join the Yukon's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) team as a emergency medical responder. Our communities trust and respect our team members.
Do you live in a rural or remote area and want to make a difference? If so, then becoming an emergency medical responder (EMR) might be what you're looking for.
The government employs EMRs on an on-call, part-time basis. During an EMR's on-call shift, they carry a radio. They have the freedom to pursue other work and activities. When called out, pay increases to a standard hourly rate.
