Posted 25 days ago
Job description
It's a great feeling to work for a company that does so much good for others around the world!
Education Req: Four-year bachelor's degree in emergency management, Homeland Security, Public Administration or related field preferred. Candidates without a bachelor's degree may substitute one year of relevant work experience for each year of education.
Applicants are required to demonstrate prior completion of Incident Command System training, including the following FEMA independent study courses:
IS-100.c Incident Command System
IS-200.b ICS for Single Resources
IS-700.b National Incident Management System
IS-800.c National Response Framework
Additionally, applicants must complete the following in person courses:
ICS 300 - Intermediate ICS for Expanding Incidents
ICS 400 - Advanced ICS Command and General Staff - Complex Incidents
* Proof of course completion for each course above will be required for consideration.
Preferred Courses:
Completion of one or more of the following courses is preferred:
O-305 All Hazards Type 3 Incident Management Team
L-958/ICS-430/ICS 331 Operations Section
ICS-440/ E/L-164 Planning Section
L-967/ICS-450 Logistics Section
L-973 / ICS-460 Finance Section
Experience Req: At least five years experience working for a government agency in a first responder capacity (Fire, Rescue, EMS, Law Enforcement, Public Health, Emergency Management or equivalent), with at least 2 years experience in a leadership role (ICS Unit-Level position-equivalent or above).
Summary: National EMR consistently seeks talented and hard-working individuals who are eager to assist impacted communities and first responders on an "as needed basis" as reservist employees. Reservists (YOU) are part of an elite, all-hazards response cadre who are available to work intermittently, commit to working when needed, and travel/deploy within 24-48 hours. The cadre plays a key role in keeping National EMR ready to deploy the right people in the right jobs quickly in an emergency management situation. These situations could include hurricane responses, mass shooting(s), wildfire responses, and more. As a company we have responded to every major US incident that has occurred in the last 25 years. We are proud of our record and reputation but recognize we can't do this without our reservists. Reservists are often retired local, state, or federal civil service employees who consider this line of work as a movement or a calling. Is this your calling? Are you ready to serve?
This is NOT a full-time job. Reservists may be deployed to fulfill any role specifically related to the incident, and deployment roles will be based on reservists' skills, performance, and experience. National EMR does not guarantee length or frequency of deployments. You will be paid for the actual number of hours worked. Pay scales are based on the job classification as determined by National EMR.
National EMR was built on the premise of filling gaps and serving those with the greatest needs in a disaster. National EMR has spent most of our time in the emergency support functions (ESF) of mass care, emergency assistance, housing, human services, public health, and medical services as our core mission areas. Reservists are responsible for maintaining personal readiness and your "active/eligible" status. Reservists will be entering into a fast-paced, ever-shifting, high-pressure environment. You are expected to perform well, make informed decisions, and be prepared to work nights, weekends, and holidays.
To successfully perform the essential functions of a reservist, the employee may be expected to perform the following, with or without reasonable accommodations, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Responsibilities and Duties:
Reservists may be assigned to any role within an emergency response under the Incident Command System (ICS) structure. Duties include, but are not limited to:
1.Deploy as part of an all-hazards IMT during emergencies, disasters, public health incidents, special events, or planned operations.
2.Perform assigned ICS position responsibilities in accordance with NIMS and ICS doctrine.
3.Assist with incident action planning, operational coordination, resource management, and situational awareness.
4.Participate in briefings, planning meetings, and command/general staff activities.
5.Support establishment and operation of Incident Command Posts (ICP), Emergency Operations Centers (EOC), Joint Operations Centers (JOC), or Unified Command structures.
6.Maintain accurate incident documentation and records.
7.Understand and adhere to the National EMR Policies and Procedures Manual, Uniform Handbook, and Operations Manual.
8.Maintain personal readiness to deploy within 6-12 hours of activation, including updated availability in National EMR's mobile application.
9.Complete agency-directed training through the learning management system, including Just-In-Time (JIT) training and mission-specific modules.
10.Promote a culture of safety by identifying hazards, reporting safety concerns immediately, and following established safety protocols.
11.Foster a culture that encourages team members to work safely, identify potential hazards, and report safety concerns immediately to their direct chain of command.
12.Participate in, assist, or supervise a workforce that will conduct disaster preparedness, response, and recovery initiatives as needed.
13.Be receptive and flexible to serve in any position when responding to critical circumstances which may have obstacles and/or challenges that need to be overcome.
14.Be able to solve day-to-day operational issues and reach short-term performance goals.
15.Support survivors and communities during disasters by being readily available to assist at a moment's notice.
16.Other duties as assigned.
Requirements:
1.Must maintain deployable status and the physical/mental readiness to work in emergency environments on short notice.
2.Adhere to high standards of professional integrity and comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and workplace expectations.
3.Provide proof of valid driver's license and driving record in good standing with no restrictions (subject to review annually).
4.Successfully pass a background check and drug screening (pre-deployment and random).
5.Demonstrate the ability to:
a.Work collaboratively across disciplines and communicate effectively (verbal and written).
b.Respond sensitively to diverse cultural, socioeconomic, and community needs.
c.Navigate high-stress environments with sound judgment and composure.
d.Operate independently or as part of a multidisciplinary team with limited supervision.
e.Use Microsoft Office and communication tools (radio, satellite phone, mobile apps).
f.Respond sensitively and competently to the service population's cultural and socio-economic characteristics.
g.Maintain professional skills, including strong interpersonal and non-verbal communication.
h.Perform physical activity such as extensive walking, stretching, bending, and occasionally lifting and/or exceeding 50 lbs.
6.Must be capable of maintaining physical endurance and focus during extended operations (12-hour shifts, nights, weekends, holidays).
7.Must be available for on-call duty and may be required to work flexible hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays, to support emergency response and deployment operations.
If you like to work with people that believe they can make a difference in the world, this is the company for you!
