Elk River, United States County Of Sherburne Full time

Job Summary You can be the FIRST, first responder when someone calls for help on potentially the worst day of their life. This job requires the ability to think fast, your split-second decisions make a difference. Our police, fire and medical professionals rely on you to provide the essential information they need when responding to emergency calls. At the same time, you will be the calmness and reassurance the caller is depending on when experiencing potentially the most stressful, heartbreaking, painful, chaotic, or traumatizing moment of their life. You will also hear the relief in the callers voice when help arrives, smile when you hear the fire department was able to pull a puppy to safety from a water drain in the street and breathe your own sigh of relief when first responders (that you sent) are able to prevent an accident from becoming a tragedy. This job is stressful but will push you to reach your greatest potential as you strive to serve the members of our community.
