Job Description

The RP Funding Center is a dynamic event facility located in Lakeland, Florida, known for hosting a variety of events ranging from concerts and sports to community gatherings and special events. This center is a key venue that attracts both local residents and visitors, providing a safe, welcoming environment and exceptional service to all guests. RP Funding Center prides itself on maintaining the highest standards of safety and customer care, ensuring that every event runs smoothly with a dedicated and professional staff. The facility is managed with a focus on safety protocols, guest satisfaction, and operational excellence, which requires a team that is both hardworking and community-oriented.

The position available is for a part-time, temporary Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) or Paramedic who will play a crucial role in maintaining safety and health standards at the RP Funding Center. This role involves administering emergency and basic first aid to guests and employees, ensuring that any medical emergencies are promptly and effectively addressed. The successful candidate will be responsible for inspecting the facility before and during events to identify and mitigate potential safety hazards, which helps prevent accidents and injuries. The individual will also monitor guest behavior to ensure adherence to building policies such as smoking restrictions, food and beverage regulations, and event-specific rules.

The EMT or Paramedic will be expected to maintain detailed records of all incidents and accidents, providing accurate reports to the Event Staff Supervisor and Event Manager. This requires excellent attention to detail and strong communication skills, as the role involves interacting with guests, addressing questions or complaints professionally, and directing individuals to the appropriate supervisors or resources when necessary. The position demands physical endurance, including the ability to stand for extended periods, climb stairs, and lift heavy objects or assist injured guests.

This role is mission-critical and requires the ability to work irregular hours, including nights, weekends, and holidays, adapting to the varying schedules that event staffing may demand. Candidates will need to attend pre-event meetings and training sessions to stay current with building policies, emergency procedures, and the specific requirements of different events. Being part of the RP Funding Center team means contributing to a safe and enjoyable experience for all event attendees while upholding the facility’s reputation for safety and professionalism. This opportunity is ideal for certified EMTs or Paramedics seeking flexible, part-time work in a supportive and fast-paced environment, serving the Lakeland community with vital emergency medical services.
