It’s no secret that awesome workplaces have happier people!!

Royal is honored to have received so many Best Places to Work Awards. We see this as a reflection of our Culture and our People!! And they come with some bragging rights too, not only for the organization but also for our Team Members.

These awards can’t be bought, or simply applied for. Each award we have earned has been a result of an anonymous employee survey, asking for honest feedback, and covering every category that matters most to an employee.

That’s what makes them so special. Your voice and your experience at Royal defines our brand, our reputation, and our culture!

We trust our people, and value their referrals. In fact over half of our team members were referred to us by current or past employees. AND.. As we always say, “Once a part of the Royal Fam, Always a part of the Royal Fam”..which is why our Thank You Referral Bonus, is equally extended to our Royal Alumni.

How it Works: When your friend applies, let them know to add you as their referral on their employment application, and they can also mention it during the interview. If we hire your referral, you will get $250, when they pass their first 90 days at Royal. It’s that simple!

There is no cap on referrals, keep em coming! The more quality people you send our way, the more you get! We see this as a win/win for everyone!

It’s not just WHAT you know. It’s also about WHO you know!

In fact, who you know might matter more–or at least, be just as important as what you know in getting professional opportunities.

When you are ready to think about your next step, and would love to talk to someone who has already been in your shoes and successfully pursued a similar path, let us know and we will hook you up with one of our amazing Alumni.

Whether you are applying to school, looking for best practices and tips, want a shadowing opportunity, need to expand your network, or need some guidance.. We have a dedicated and diverse group of Royal Alumni, who love to give back and would love to connect with you.

The cost of education keeps going up, and we want to make furthering your education easier and more attainable for you. Let us help you pursue your goals in healthcare and in EMS. Every Year Royal gives out 4- $2500 Scholarships to assist our EMTs with the cost of their education. Scroll to check out some of our past award recipients and what they have to say!

Kathryn Farinacci-Magee, FTO – Future Fire/Medic (Scholarship Winner 2020)

“I have appreciated the experience I’ve had working at Royal- Most of our patients are people of color, who unfortunately have a list of numerous health problems at an age where you would predict a person wouldn’t have such a long list, or such serious health problems. These patients are what keeps me coming back to work everyday- to actually listen to them from a a place of non-judgement, make them feel heard, advocate for them, provide them the help that they actually need- even though it sometimes is small, but these small things can really make these patients day and they look forward to riding with Royal Ambulance. My ultimate goal really would be to change this aspect in health care in the long run- for the patients of color/under privileged patients to get better health care, to be able to afford to get care, for them to be living happy healthy lives. I know Royal will help me reach my goals. “

Jesus Martinez, FTO – Future Paramedic  (Scholarship Winner 2020)

“As a Field Training Officer for Royal Ambulance, I have the honor of guiding and mentoring new EMT’s into their growth as professionals in the medical field. The role of a Field Training Officer entails more than just showing new employees how and when to follow standard protocols. It is about working together to build on patient interactive reasoning, engaging in meaningful dialogue and guiding mentees to think critically about their future goals and aspirations. I reassure that I am here to help in any way I can and that they made a great choice with beginning their EMT journey at Royal Ambulance. Being a part of Royal Ambulance has shown me what a support system really looks like and has helped me build and improve my interpersonal and hands on medical skills. This organization has done so much for me in my journey as an EMT and believe that I could return the favor as a Field Training Officer to those individuals that are just beginning theirs. “

Stephanie Sfeatcu – Future Physician Assistant  (Scholarship Winner 2020)

“I have been fortunate enough to be apart of Royal and have grown tremendously and helped others grow both personally and professionally. It never came to me until I started to work at Royal what it really means to be a “leader.” This job taught me how to think quickly and critically no matter the situation. I am not an FTO at Royal but I have learned over the last few months what a leader is. This job helped me realize that you don’t have to be the loudest person in the room for others to follow you. You have to be someone who can help set examples for others. Investing in my colleagues personally to help them get out of their comfort zones not only helps build cohesion but it ultimately builds a better workforce for Royal. I have been fortunate enough to be apart of Royal and have grown tremendously and helped others grow both personally and professionally over the past few months.”

Daniel Pekker – Future Physician  (Scholarship Winner 2020)

“With the accomplishment of my EMT certification and my employment with Royal Ambulance, I have felt increasingly confident in my skills and enthusiasm for patient care, as well as a strong desire to grow into my potential as a clinical care provider. Within my work at Royal, I have been thrilled to learn more about how one patient interacts with a broad patient care team that works together to provide high-level patient care. I look forward to integrating myself into the healthcare system with increasing scopes of care.”

Shayan Dinparast Tohidi – Future Nurse  (Scholarship Winner 2019)

 “Thank you for all the support you have extended to me during my time here with the Royal family. From the time I started the job you have all been nothing but helpful and supportive and It means more to me than you’ll ever know. Working at Royal has been very enjoyable and I have learned and grown a lot. Your encouragement and support have made all of the difference. Thank you for teaching me discipline, professionalism, and pride.”

Luis Arichega-De Dios, Lead FTO – Future Fire/Medic  (Scholarship Winner 2018)

“My goals and aspirations align with the mission of Royal of putting the patient first above anything else.  Royal Ambulance has given me the skills in communication, leadership, determination, and adaptability that will help me treat my future patients comprehensively.  I hope to give back to Royal Ambulance through mentorship and networking.”

Natalie Chin-Current Physician Assistant student at Midwestern University, Glendale, AZ  (Scholarship Winner 2017)

“Royal’s high standards pushed me to understand that all patients deserve our time and effort, despite their condition or background. While I learned the skills of patience at college, my time at Royal has led me to become a more empathetic healthcare worker and a better person. I will always carry Royal work ethics and its lessons with me.”

Ivan Hernandez -Future Fire/Medic (Scholarship Winner 2019)

“I believe education is the key to success, and I try to connect my passion for education with my desire of helping others. I am grateful for the opportunities Royal has provided me.”

While we are all still young, it’s hard to envision what our retirement will actually look and feel like. That doesn’t mean, you shouldn’t start thinking about it and planning for it. With regular contributions, it can be a powerful retirement savings tool for many. You can even take loans out, with the savings you have built up, to help you when you need it. 

401K allows you to contribute a portion of your pre-tax dollars from your paycheck. Royal will then match a portion of these contributions, so your nest egg will grow even faster! 

Not sure if this is the right investment plan for you? Want to save money, and be more fiscally responsible? Royal can put you in touch with our Financial Advisor to help you understand and weigh out your options. 

Whether full time or part time, our goal is to find a work schedule that is win/win! Our dedicated Scheduler works with you directly, to ensure we take the time to understand your needs, and your priorities outside of work. Together we will find a schedule that you can commit to, and fits around your busy life.

Need to take some time off? Of course you do! We all do, and we all should! At Royal we firmly believe in having a work/life balance that allows you to thrive. We offer 2 weeks of paid vacation time, so you can unwind, and recharge!
