Leader of.....EMS
Why do you want to be a leader of this specific organization?
I'm an ideal candidate for the position of leader for the following 3 reasons:
1) I have a rich expanse of experience as a leader. Since moving to this city I've served as a member of high command in two different organisations, including EMS. I have worked my way up to the position of head of AS. I have an intimate understanding of how the department operates and the processes we currently have in place; indeed, I helped to revamp said processes in order to make them as efficient, useful, and easy to use as they are today. I enjoy working closely with fellow members of staff and have formed close and sincere bonds with most of them. I keep channels of communication perpetually open with every single person in the organisation, regardless of their role or department. I go out of my way to help them. I take a special interest in the welfare of members of AS and track their promotions and make sure they receive every bonus they're entitled to. I always encourage them and support them. If I notice their hours dropping off then I reach out to them to check if they need my support in any way.
2.) The passion and dedication of the team has always been evident to me, particularly amongst members of high command. We've all done our best to rise up and deal with the challenges we've been faced with, even when it may have seemed we were "dropping the ball" to people on the outside looking in. In reality, we've been working hard and consulting with our members on how best to resolve any problems we've encountered. It's been utterly inspiring to see how the team have pulled together and stepped up to the mark during difficult times. Although things have been tough at times, I've relished the challenges that came our way and can already see the light at the end of the tunnel as we start to reach the other side.
3) I work extremely hard and frequently do 12-16 hour shifts and even when I'm not officially working I'm assisting the smooth running of the hospital remotely. My duties include assisting staff with any queries and problems, organising replacements when people want to go off shift, meeting with other official orgs, making sure each lobby is manned, and making sure that calls are being dealt with in a timely manner. I'm currently the only active ARD instructor and I provide training and certification for ARD pilots. I also do FTO training and retraining for new recruits and process promotions. I deal with crises and dole out disciplinary actions such as strikes and warnings when they are called for. Additionally, I cover any lobbies or calls that need covering.
Behind the scenes, I'm very active on the emails (both direct mails and answering questions in the employee chat as well as the leader chat). I also created the hourly sheets that are in use currently which I manage and edit myself. I designed the hourly sheets so they're as intuitive and easy to use as possible, while also being informative and allowing departments to track promotions and hours worked. I make sure that all bonuses for FTOs and AS are recorded. I also record their rota times and perform general admin tasks such as keeping emails up to date
I never consider myself to be truly "off the clock".
Your advice for improving roleplay level in this organisation
One of our biggest problems is that while we technically have enough employees, we don't have enough available to work at certain times. This shortage is most keenly felt on the night shift (we have a core group of amazing stuff who have been shouldering the burden). We need to employ a surplus of staff so that we always have enough workers not just in theory but also in practice.
One way to address this is by simplifying the recruitment process. I agree with Sam's brilliant idea that we should implement several daily training sessions for people who've passed their interview. This way, new recruits will know for sure when an FTO will be available for training, which will serve much better than the haphazard system we currently employ where recruits turn up randomly and are disappointed to find no FTO available.
I also think we should abolish the face-to-face exam for trainees and just have a written exam instead, with a short review session before they choose which department they'd like to progress on to. We need to streamline the process and open it up to more recruiters so that we can process new recruits faster.
I also think we need to make a few changes to the training, e.g. emphasize the importance of RP. Right now it seems like people are not enthused about RP and just want to get it out of the way. I'd like to see more people get as deeply into the fun of RP as I do myself. Extended operations RP and mental health care RP could add a lot.
I've noticed that while staff members may be active in the city at night, they're not as inclined to come and help out as they used to be. I feel the reason for this is that we have lost our old family type vibe at EMS to some extent, and consequently the role has become " just a job" in their eyes. We need to establish some of our old camaraderie by enjoying some off the clock activities together such as arena fights, fun and silly races, training exercises, OOC game nights, and party hangout events.
I've been in talks with LSPD and we want to get EMS involved in events that happen in the city, e.g. giving orgs adrenaline before robberies and collecting people after shootings. I think it's important for us to foster a good working relationship with the other orgs.
I have a massive passion for EMS. I have been roleplaying for 15 years and this amazing organisation is one of the best I've ever been a part of. I feel so fortunate to be a member and I hope to carry on pouring my heart and soul into it for a long time.
My main aim will always be to help and support EMS and its wonderful people in any way I can
