Role Responsibilities

Reporting to the Manager, Paramedic Practice and System Performance, EHS, the Paramedic Practice Specialist role works within Hospital and Surgical Health Services to support the Government of Alberta’s statutory oversight responsibilities under the Emergency Health Services Act and Ground Ambulance Regulation.

The Paramedic Practice Specialist plays a key role in advancing public safety and strengthening Alberta’s emergency health services system. In this role, you will support the development, interpretation, and application of legislation, policy, and standards related to paramedic practice, medical control, and clinical governance. You will help shape system‑level expectations and accountability frameworks that guide medical oversight and ensure consistent, high quality emergency care across the province.

The successful candidate will need to provide senior technical expertise and strategic advice to a broad range of stakeholders—including the Minister, Premier, Cabinet, MLAs, regulatory bodies, health system partners, unions, professional associations, and municipal and provincial entities—on matters related to paramedic practice, medical control protocols (MCPs), and statutory obligations under the Emergency Health Services Act. Your subject matter expertise will also inform contract oversight and performance expectations related to governance and system accountability, and support broader compliance and accountability functions within government and the emergency health services system.

The role requires strong analytical capability to research emerging practices, conduct literature reviews and jurisdictional scans, and translate findings into clear recommendations through written reports, presentations, and briefing materials. The successful candidate must interpret and explain legislation, regulation, and policy requirements to internal and external stakeholders, ensuring consistent understanding of provincial expectations and standards, and apply professional judgment to assess the significance of information and support appropriate internal escalation where warranted.

Supporting ministry‑led policy and program development, the Paramedic Practice Specialist is responsible to assess initiatives aimed at improving system‑level clinical governance, and contribute to performance measurement frameworks that enhance public safety and accountability.

Additional responsibilities include developing and maintaining tools, templates, and guidance documents that support oversight processes; representing the division on cross‑ministry committees and projects; and delivering timely, high quality communication products that require expert‑level insight into paramedic practice and clinical governance.
