Job Details

Position Type: Full Time

Education Level: Athletic Trainer

Job Shift: Day/Flexible

Travel: Local

Job Category: Health Care

Essential Functions and Job Responsibilities:

The Athletic Trainer will be assigned specifically to designated units at the brigade (BDE), battalion (BN), or company (CO) level. The Athletic Trainer's services may be provided in the following locations: fitness centers/gyms, BDE/BN/CO or administrative areas, outdoors, ranges, field training environments, and at the Soldier Performance Readiness Center (SPRC). The work includes providing forward musculoskeletal (MSK) care, early medical intervention, injury prevention (IP), and performance optimization services. Any medical treatment provided by the Athletic Trainer is subject to the supervision of a privileged government healthcare provider. The location for the performance of duty is under the control and direction of the resourced unit BDE Commander in coordination with the Installation Assistant Contracting Officer Representative (ACOR).

Most work will be performed in a military training environment (i.e., fitness centers/gyms, BDE/BN/CO or administrative areas, outdoors, ranges, field training environments, and at the SPRC). The Athletic Trainer shall not be deployed outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS) or to support long-duration training events in remote locations). The Athletic Trainer will be required to observe BDE and below (i.e., BN, CO, platoon, squad, team) specific training events (e.g., shooting range, obstacle courses, combative training areas). The Athletic Trainer must be physically able to hike austere environments and terrain (i.e., rocky, no running water, no shelter, no bathroom, no climate control, inclement weather, loud, smoky) while carrying their own backpack with necessary supplies on occasion (<20% of the time). Providing forward MSK care in the training environment, outside of the clinical setting, minimizes lost training time and ensures early identification of injuries. Well-trained, combat-ready Soldiers are best produced by allocating healthcare assets that facilitate the early identification and management of MSK injuries, prevention of injuries, and optimization of physical performance.

Have a current Basic Life Support (BLS) certification for Healthcare Providers from the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross with Automated External Defibrillators (AED) certification. Certification cards must display the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross emblem.
