emergency (medical) care service
Explanation:
I think 'servicio de urgencias extrahospitalarias' refers to medical services provided outside a medical centre and is associated to ambulances rather than hospitals. For example, traffic collisions, heart attacks, skiing accidents,etc. or any kind of emergency that occurs outside a medical centre.
Foward
Healthcare is changing rapidly in response to modern needs, and emergency care is now one of the key developing areas. This is set to continue, bringing with it new roles.

I have got carrried away and I have been researching the 'supervisor' part. However, I will leave the links as they explain what 'el servicio de urgencias extrahospitalarias/emergency care services' involve.
I think jude69's answer is right, but in this case the person aims to climb higher up the ladder and become a senior paramedic/emergency care practitioner

Ambulance crews can include a range medical staff, such as emergency care assistants and paramedics. Ambulance trusts should ensure that patients are given the appropriate level of care. For example, if someone needs a paramedic, one should be dispatched. Crews are highly trained in all aspects of emergency care, from trauma injuries to cardiac arrests. An ambulance is equipped with a variety of emergency care equipment, such as heart defibrillators, oxygen, intravenous drips, spinal and traction splints and a range of drugs.

Senior paramedics
The role of the senior paramedic offers new opportunities for paramedics. It is a more advanced role to a paramedic and may have a range of job titles, including emergency care practitioner. Working from a response car, GP surgery, minor injury unit or hospital emergency department, you will assess patients with symptoms and conditions, such as suspected fractures or chest pain. You will take a patient's medical history, examine them and order
tests and scans where necessary. You might then decide to give treatment yourself or refer them to another healthcare professional. You’ll have great
scope for extending your role even further with more training and qualifications.

Sorry, at the beginning I should have written 'any type of emergency that occurs and is TREATED outside a medical centre'.

Spanish organization for medical emergencies is a Public Health Integrated EMS (IEMS) that has a network of SAMU/IEMS Medical Emergency Regulation Centers (MERC = SAMU in international appellation). Emergency Primary Care and GP are fully integrated in Spanish IEMS.
Spain has 17 autonomous communities with 17 regional Health Departments. The National Health System is the agglomeration of these 17 Health Departments. So each autonomous community has its own regional IEMS that depend on Regional Health Department. Some EMS have their own staff and vehicles, others outsource the vehicles and staff to private companies. Public EMS departments usually outsource the vehicles and BLS staff. ALS staff are usually government employees.
In addition, some cities have local EMS too (e.g. SAMUR-Madrid).
There are also Emergency Medical Services in some fire departments: cities of Barcelona, Sevilla, Valencia, Zaragoza, Malaga, Bilbao, and Catalonia community.In these EMS work doctors and nurses with firefighters in advanced life support (ALS) ambulances or helicopters.
Furthermore, non-profit organizations (Spanish Red Cross, DYA) and Civil Defense Groups provide ambulances (usually BLS) with volunteers for some situations (disasters, mass incidents, special events: sports, concerts,...)

My next reference won't let me cut and paste, but at the bottom of page 23, on the left, there is a definition of servicio de urgencias extrahospitalarias.
