Event Medics and First Responders – Sydney

Casual | Sydney and NSW

Want to gain real-world patient experience while working at some incredible events across NSW?

Get First Aid is looking for Event Medics and First Responders to join our growing Sydney team.

From sporting events and endurance races to festivals, community events and major events, no two shifts are quite the same.

Whether you’re an experienced clinician or a Paramedicine student looking to build confidence before entering ambulance practice, this is an opportunity to put your skills into practice in the event environment.

Who we’re looking for

We encourage applications from:

Year 2 and above Paramedicine students

Certificate IV in Health Care graduates

Diploma of Emergency Health Care graduates

Those with an equivalent or higher healthcare qualification

Experienced First Responders and healthcare professionals

Your qualifications, experience and competency will determine the clinical role and scope you are appointed to.

Paramedicine students – we want to hear from you!

If you’re Year 2 or above, we encourage you to apply.

We understand there’s a big difference between learning at university and gaining confidence dealing with real patients.

We’re flexible around university and placement commitments and want to give students the opportunity to gain more hands-on patient experience before making the jump into ambulance practice.

Event medical work can help you build confidence in patient communication, observations, assessments, clinical reasoning and documentation while always working within your approved scope.

What you’ll be doing

Depending on your role and the event, you may be:

Providing first aid and event medical care

Assessing and managing patients within your scope

Responding to incidents across event sites

Completing patient care documentation

Communicating with event organisers and emergency services when required

Working independently or as part of a larger medical team

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for people who are reliable, professional, compassionate and confident communicating with patients.

You need to know your scope, recognise your limitations and know when to escalate.

Our GFA values are:

Reliability | Professional Excellence | Compassion in Action | Teamwork and Community

Your application – PLEASE READ

A tailored cover letter is MANDATORY.

Your cover letter must specifically tell us:

How you align with the Get First Aid values

What you will bring to the GFA team

Your qualifications, experience and eligibility

If you’re a Paramedicine student, your current year of study

We don’t want a generic cover letter. We want to know who you are, why you want to join GFA and what you can bring to our team.

Applications without a cover letter will NOT be selected to continue through the recruitment process.

Recruitment process

Step 1: your resume and cover letter

Step 2: Shortlisting

Step 3: Group Interview – including 3 practical scenarios

Step 4: References if required / Offers

The practical scenarios aren’t about expecting you to know everything. We want to see how you communicate, approach a patient, think through a situation and recognise when you need to escalate.

Compliance

Successful applicants will need to provide the relevant documentation for their appointed role, which may include current qualifications, Police Check, WWCC where applicable, evidence of university enrolment and professional registration where required.

Ready to apply?

If you want to gain experience, use your existing skills and work across some fantastic events throughout Sydney and NSW, we’d love to hear from you.

Year 2+ Paramedicine students and those who have completed a Certificate IV in Health Care, Diploma of Emergency Health Care, equivalent or higher qualification are strongly encouraged to apply.
