What employers look forFrom the Paramedic guide
Hiring captains want a registered paramedic with real frontline experience, usually three years or more on road ambulance, HEMS, remote offshore or military work. UK HCPC registration, a US NREMT card, or Australian or South African equivalents are the usual starting point. Ex-military medics with close protection backgrounds do well on security-focused boats. Adverts are often for Deckhand/Paramedic or Security/Paramedic, so deck tickets or a dive qualification make you far easier to place.

QuestionsSee what a Paramedic earns
What tickets should a Paramedic CV list?
List Registered paramedic licence (HCPC, NREMT), STCW Basic Safety Training, ENG1 or accepted seafarer medical and Advanced life support (ALS or ACLS) first, each with the date it was issued. Then add PHTLS prehospital trauma course and PDSD if you hold them.
How long should a Paramedic CV be?
Two pages at most. Give your last three jobs in detail and one line each to older ones.
Can I copy this example CV?
Use the layout and the order, then replace every line with your own details. Never list a ticket or a job you do not have: captains and crew agents check certificates and call references.
