Outreach EMT

For nearly 35 years, Fourth Street Clinic has provided essential health care to individuals experiencing homelessness in Salt Lake City. Joining our team means more than taking a job-you'll be a critical link between our clinics, resource centers, and patients, ensuring medically vulnerable individuals receive timely, compassionate care.

The Medical Support EMT is a key member of the Outreach Support Team, acting as a liaison between FSC clinics, resource center staff, and patients to address same-day or urgent medical needs. This role differs from traditional EMT positions, requiring strong clinical skills, certifications, and the ability to navigate complex patient care scenarios. The Medical Support EMT collaborates with shelter staff, clinic providers, and onsite medical personnel to respond to emergent or acute health needs and communicates with FSC triage staff to coordinate appropriate healthcare interventions.
