POSITION SUMMARY
Prime Medical Transport is seeking dependable, compassionate Transportation Specialists to provide
safe, respectful non-emergency transportation throughout Southeastern Massachusetts.
The role primarily serves Plymouth County, with regular trips into Greater Boston and occasional travel
throughout Cape Cod. Transportation Specialists assist ambulatory passengers and individuals traveling by wheelchair, non-emergency stretcher, or specialized stretcher-alternative equipment.
A DAY IN THE LIFE
Start safely and serve locally. Begin with a vehicle and equipment safety inspection, then use the
company's mobile app to pick up a passenger at home and transport them to an appointment in
Plymouth. Most trips include door-through-door assistance from inside the pickup location to safely
inside the destination, along with passenger securement and trip updates through the app.
Work as a team. Your next assignment might be a non-emergency stretcher trip from Braintree to
Boston. As part of a trained two-person team, you will transfer and secure the passenger, communicate with caregivers, remain with the passenger throughout the scheduled trip, and complete a safe return or handoff. Finish ready. Stay connected with dispatch throughout the day, then refuel, clean and disinfect the vehicle and equipment, remove trash, report concerns, and leave everything ready for the next shift.
