Vacancy: Military Medic
A wounded soldier on the battlefield has a few minutes. What the medic does in that window decides everything else — whether the person makes it to hospital, and in what condition they leave it.
A military medic provides first aid and emergency care to the wounded, stabilises the soldier's condition and ensures their evacuation.
This is a position where professional knowledge matters more than anything else — and where it is applied in the worst possible conditions.
Who can become a military medic
Medical training is required — an education or a completed tactical medicine course. This is a specialist position.
What really matters:
- Medical education — basic, secondary vocational or higher — or a tactical medicine course
- The ability to work with your hands when there is shooting nearby
- Fast decision-making in triage: who goes first
- Readiness to keep learning — care protocols are updated
- Medical fitness — determined by the military medical board (VLK)
How a military medic differs from a rifleman-medic: here medical work is the main job, not an addition to combat tasks. The scope of care is broader, and the training requirements are higher.
What a military medic does in the 141st SMB
In addition to what is described in the requirements above:
- Providing first aid to the wounded in combat conditions
- Triaging the wounded by severity
- Stabilisation before evacuation and accompanying the casualty during it
- Replenishing and monitoring the unit's medical supplies
- Training personnel in the basics of self-aid and buddy aid
- Keeping medical records and logging the care provided
How you will be trained
The path is the same for everyone: 51 days of basic military training, then the brigade adaptation course — 14–15 days with instructors who have combat experience.
Next comes specialist medical training according to tactical medicine protocols. Skills are drilled until they become automatic: in a real situation there is no time to recall the sequence of actions.
Our instructors' principle is short: the priority is to survive. This applies both to the person being saved and to the one doing the saving.
What you will be provided with
You will be fully kitted out: gear, protective equipment, medical supplies for the job.
You won't be alone. The brigade's medical service is a system: medics in the units, medical instructors, ambulance drivers, the evacuation chain.
What the terms include:
- Pay: base pay of UAH 21,000 + an additional bonus of up to UAH 100,000 for carrying out tasks in the combat zone — up to UAH 121,000 per month in total, depending on the duration and area of the tasks
- Full provision of gear, protective equipment and military property
- The social package provided for service members
- Opportunity to obtain combatant status (UBD)
Where you can grow
- Medical instructor — organising medical support for the unit
- Senior medic, head of a medical team
- Tactical medicine instructor for personnel
- Professional growth: experience that takes years to gain in a civilian job
In the 141st, competence and results count — not length of service.
