Mercy Flight announced job openings tonight, thanks to its new ground ambulance service, which is scheduled to start serving Genesee County Sept. 1.
We received the following announcement from Wade Schwab with Mercy Flight at 9 p.m.:
Mercy EMS, a ground ambulance service operated by Mercyflight of Western N.Y. is seeking qualified individuals to fill numerous job opportunities.
The company will be providing ambulance service to all of Genesee County as of September 1st.
The positions will be EMT's, paramedics, paramedic shift supervisors and dispatchers.
There will be open job fairs at the Mercyflight Batavia base at 4781 E. Saile Dr. Batavia on Wednesday 07/15 and Thursday 07/16 from 6pm until 8pm and on Saturday 07/18 from 9am until 11am.
Anyone interested in these local job opportunities is welcome to attend one of the sessions.
We'll need to wait until Monday to talk with officials with Mercy Flight to see how the open hiring and job fairs squares with statements previously indicating the organization was looking to hire many, if not all, of Batavia's ambulance personnel.
