To ensure round-the-clock continuity of coverage and to support key operational and management requirements, GVA retains about fifty employees, including both full and part time EMTs and paramedics. Currently (April, 2011), we have eleven full time paramedics and three full time basic EMTs. There are twelve part time paramedics and twenty six part time EMTs. Since the paid staff was initiated a few years ago, these members have become an integrated part of the GVA team.

Many of the full time staff work a rotating shift schedule consisting of two 10-hour day shifts and two 14-hour night shifts, followed by 4 days off. The part time staff are scheduled to fill shifts not covered by full time or volunteer personnel.

Those interested in applying for a position at GVA can send a resume to our chief.
