At Royal we firmly believe it’s not just about the destination, it’s about the journey! It’s about who you become along the way, the people you meet, the connections you make and the experiences that you have that shape the kind of healthcare professional you become.
As we continue to grow, we remain focused on maintaining our culture of professional and personal development, supportive family vibes and first class employee experience. Join our team and be a part of this exciting growth opportunity while surrounding yourself with other like minded individuals, who encourage and inspire one another along their path in EMS and Healthcare.
We love working here, but don’t just take our word for it!
Royal Ambulance was founded by our CEO, Steve Grau, in 2006. Since then, we’ve grown from 2 ambulances and 10 EMT’s, to over 80 ambulances and 500 team members.
We serve all of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area Region, with bases in Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, and Santa Cruz Counties!
There are many options and routes you can take to obtain your EMT certification. In the SF Bay Area, we have a diverse array of programs from local Community Colleges, Adult Schools, as well as private programs (i.e. Project Heartbeat, DefibThis!). We have partnered with many schools to provide clinical hours and experience towards your EMT certification. You will need to be 18 years or older, have a High School Diploma or GED, Medical Insurance, Immunizations (requirements vary), and CPR to enroll in most programs.
You can find detailed information in our EMT job posting, but you will need: CA EMT License, CA Ambulance Driver’s License, BLS-CPR (AHA), FEMA Course Completion, Current Immunizations, and badge licensure depending on counties (Santa Clara & Contra Costa).
No, you do NOT need experience–we hire straight out of EMT School! At Royal, we are best known for our extensive and rigorous training process, giving you a solid foundation to grow your healthcare experience and provide the best patient care and service.
We are very flexible with scheduling and needs vary throughout the year. While we prioritize full-time candidates (3-4 shifts per week, 10 hour shifts, 40 hours a week), we also accept part-time candidates depending on operational needs.
We have an extensive four day New Hire Academy where we provide an in-depth instructional program focused on Customer Service, Operational Policies & Procedures, Lifting and Gurney Operations, Technology Training, and our emergency vehicle operator course (EVOC). Once you pass NHA, you will be paired with one of our experienced Field Training officers who will then guide you through an 80 hour (8 shift), training program to ensure your readiness for the field! We provide continuous skills training and education, as well as opportunities to move up within our company as an EMT, from becoming an FTO, joining Critical Care Transport, or becoming an Operations Supervisor/Manager! The opportunities are endless!
No matter what position you interview for, you should always come prepared with knowledge about the role, the company’s history, and how your experience aligns with the role. At Royal, the interview process depends on the position, but it is always good practice to come prepared, dressed professionally, and present your experience as it relates to the position you are interviewing for.
It’s up to you! If you live up to the core values of being Engaging, Adaptable, Driven, and Empathetic, the sky’s the limit! We have EMTs that are working towards: Fire, Paramedic, Medical School, PA School, and Nursing School, and are using their experience here as a stepping stone towards these goals.
We are committed to ensuring that you get the experience you need to grow as a healthcare professional and pay it forward, to your community and to the next generation of Royal EMTs.
