What You'll Do
• Set up and break down classroom space, manikins, AED trainers, and audiovisual equipment before and after courses.
• Assist instructors during training — distributing materials, monitoring skills practice stations, and sanitizing equipment between rotations.
• Build and restock training kits so every class has all supplies and materials needed.
• Order and track supplies (manikin lungs, face shields, gloves, pads, batteries) and flag low inventory before it becomes a problem.
• Help with course rosters, sign-in sheets, and certification paperwork.
• Take group photos and short videos for educational and social media content.
• Travel with the team to on-site client trainings throughout New York City.
• Assist with training events at corporate offices, schools, health care facilities, nonprofits, and community organizations.
• Help maintain a clean, organized, professional learning environment.
• Support special events, health fairs, and community outreach programs as needed.
What We're Looking For
• Reliable and punctual — classes start on time whether or not the room is ready.
• Comfortable lifting and carrying equipment; kits and manikin cases can weigh up to 40 lbs.
• Organized, with attention to detail on inventory and paperwork.
• Professional and approachable around clients, students, and school staff.
• Valid driver's license and access to a vehicle preferred but not required.
• Interest in EMS, nursing, pre-med, physician assistant studies, public health, safety, exercise science, kinesiology, emergency management, education, or a related field is a plus.
• No prior certification required. What You Get
• Paid hourly, weekly.
• Free CPR/AED and First Aid certification through our program.
• Direct mentorship from EMT-credentialed instructors and real exposure to emergency preparedness programs.
• Flexible scheduling around your class load.

• A strong professional reference.
• Opportunity to advance into a part-time and/or full-time role with Terra Medicus.
