Alta Central is looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic individual ready to help our community and serve with a purpose in a Public Safety Dispatcher position. This position offers an exciting, sometimes taxing, opportunity in public safety. Alta Central dispatchers receive non–emergency and emergency calls requesting police, fire, and assistance from the Alta Marshal’s Office.  Dispatchers work with multiple agencies, and monitor and operate a variety of telephone, radio, and computer systems. There’s also possible downtime during shifts which should be used first for training and chores, but may allow time for personal tasks. This unique position is perfect for someone with a flexible schedule that loves to ski and appreciates the mountain environment. Part–time dispatchers work 8 hours per week and cover vacation time for full–time dispatchers which can be up to 48 hours per week
