More about AmbuServe Ambulance Service
Originally offering basic life support (BLS) ambulance service to the greater South Bay area of Los Angeles County, AmbuServe has since expanded its service offerings to include advanced life support (paramedic) ambulance service, critical care transport service, and event medical coverage. The company's service area has grown to include the City of Los Angeles, Westside and central areas of Los Angeles, the City of Long Beach, and surrounding regions. The company also operates under the name AmbuServe Inc DBA Shoreline Ambulance. For nursing professionals, AmbuServe employs Critical Care Transport Registered Nurses (CCT-RNs) who provide patient care during inter-facility transports of unstable and critically ill or injured patients. CCT-RNs manage patients requiring a higher level of care during transport between healthcare facilities. The role requires a minimum of two years of critical care experience (ER or ICU) along with current California RN licensure and advanced cardiac life support certifications. This is a pre-hospital and transport nursing environment rather than a traditional hospital setting.
AmbuServe's stated vision is to remain focused on providing patient-centered service. The company emphasizes personal development and internal promotion, positioning itself as a place where employees can grow into leadership roles. The organization values hardworking, compassionate, and responsible individuals and strives to accommodate employees' personal life commitments through flexible scheduling.
