Delta Emergency Support Training is a Canadian Red Cross Training Partner in Calgary and Leduc. We are looking for instructors and office staff to help us train more people across Alberta.

Roles

Who we are looking for

You can apply for more than one role. First aid, CPR and youth instructor roles are for people who already hold current Red Cross instructor certification for what they would teach. Professional Responder roles are open to paramedics, firefighters and nurses who are not instructors yet. If you want to work with us in another way, tell us on the form.

  • Administration and customer support
  • Youth Leader (Babysitter, Stay Safe)
  • First Aid and CPR Instructor (core programs)
  • Professional Responder Instructor (BLS, First Responder, EMR, Advanced First Aid)
  • Marine First Aid Instructor
  • Wilderness and Remote First Aid Instructor
  • Psychological First Aid Instructor
  • Instructor Trainer

Where the work is

Most of our work is in person. We teach in Calgary and Leduc, and on site at workplaces across Alberta. Sometimes the work is out of province. The form asks how far you can travel.

We also hire instructors for the live online parts of some courses, such as the hybrid Professional Responder courses, so some roles can be done from elsewhere if it is a good fit.

Teaching days depend on what workplaces and students book, so we cannot promise a set number of days.

Pay depends on the course, your certifications, your teaching experience and your experience working in the field you would teach. As a guide, a Youth Leader new to teaching starts at $20 an hour and a First Aid and CPR instructor at $25 an hour. Experienced instructors earn more. A firefighter or paramedic with field experience teaching the Professional Responder courses earns $35 to $40 an hour. Your rate is agreed at the interview.

For instructors

Teaching days, and the tools to run them

Teaching days you apply for

Open teaching days are posted in the instructor portal with the course, date, time and place. You apply for the days you want, and the office confirms which ones are yours.

Your availability in one place

Set the days you are usually free, or a rotating shift pattern such as four on and four off, and add time off. A day you have not answered is never treated as a yes.

A presenter to teach from

Run the course lessons from your laptop, with a separate screen view for the TV or projector in the room.

Class resources by course

Progress logs, skill checklists, lesson plans and presentations, grouped by the course you are teaching.

A page for each teaching day

Where to be, what to bring, the notes the last instructor left, and the attendance register for the day.

What you need

Before you can teach

  • To teach First Aid, CPR, Babysitter, Stay Safe or any course below the Professional Responder programs, you must already hold current Red Cross instructor certification for it. The office checks it before you are offered that course.
  • To teach the Professional Responder courses (Basic Life Support, First Responder, Emergency Medical Responder, Advanced First Aid), you need clinical experience: paramedic, firefighter, nurse or similar. If you are not a Red Cross instructor yet, apply anyway. For the right person we are willing to put you through Red Cross instructor certification.
  • Certification that is still current on the day you teach. You can only be scheduled for days before it expires.
  • Office and customer support work does not need instructor certification.
