If you're looking for a new challenge and you love the thought of being a paramedic/medic, the Australian Army Reserve could be for you. You'll enjoy the satisfaction of giving something back to Australia, while benefiting from:
* tax-free daily pay
* free healthcare and accommodation when serving
* a flexible commitment
* rewarding work that builds on your day job
* a supportive team environment
* friendships that last a lifetime
All that plus exciting opportunities supporting Army domestic activities, including exercises and operations, with potential deployments overseas as a combat medic in support of Australian and coalition personnel.
In the Army Reserve you'll be trained to expand your paramedic/medic capabilities far beyond what would be expected in civilian work. Your skills and resourcefulness will be tested as you provide:
* evacuation coordination, and
* primary health care when necessary.
This could happen anywhere from an Army exercise interstate to operations overseas, so you'll acquire plenty of knowledge to take back to your day job.
Can you think of a more worthwhile way spend a number of weekends away or breaks from work?
