Make a Difference in East Boise County

East Boise County EMS District (EBCED) is more than an ambulance service, it’s a lifeline to our remote mountain communities. We are dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate emergency medical services to the residents and visitors of East Boise County. We are building a stronger, community-based EMS model, and we want you to be part of it.

Why Join EBCED?

Community Impact: Your presence on shift could be the difference between life and death for someone in need. When we’re not staffed, our community feels it.

Team Dedication: Our crew goes above and beyond to keep this ambulance running, often sacrificing time and energy to fill in where coverage is thin.

Leadership Opportunities: We’re proud of our team members who step up into leadership roles and continue advancing in their EMS careers. We support growth and leadership from within.

Our Challenges – And Your Opportunity

Like many rural EMS agencies, we face serious staffing challenges and burnout. That’s why we’ve reached out to state EMS leadership to explore every option to keep this service operational. Our future depends on committed people stepping up to serve.

This is why we have formed the new East Boise County EMS District (EBCED)—a vital step to ensure long-term stability with a Governing Board and team that cares. Your involvement now could help shape the future of EMS in our region.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome:

• Certified EMTs 
• Aspiring EMS professionals, especially those looking to grow with a rural, hands-on agency
• Community members who are interested in volunteering, helping with logistics, or supporting public education and outreach
• EMT’s who have recently completed EMT school, those who lack significant EMT experience, we strongly encourage you to apply and consider becoming a volunteer for at least one 24-hour shift per month until paid positions become available to not only gain experience but also to check out the district and the EMT career field.

Benefits

• Real-world experience in a high-impact, rural EMS environment
• Strong team camaraderie and mentorship
• Opportunities to grow into leadership roles
• A chance to truly serve your neighbors

We operate on a one 24-hour shift per week model for part-time employees, with each team member covering one Saturday and one Sunday per month. Weekend shifts count toward your shift total, and the schedule runs Sunday through Saturday.

Full-time employees work two 24-hour shifts per week, offering consistent coverage and a deeper level of engagement with the community and the team.

Whether part-time or full-time, every shift matters and every provider helps keep the ambulance in service and our residents safe.
