EMT – 911 Emergency Medical Services

Multiple Connecticut Locations 

Join a Different Kind of EMS Team

Looking for a change of pace without stepping away from 911 EMS ?

Northeast Fire-Rescue (NEFR) is growing, and we're looking for motivated, experienced, and team-oriented EMTs to join our organization. NEFR provides professional staffing exclusively to 911 Fire and EMS systems , with opportunities available at multiple locations across Connecticut.

Our EMTs work directly alongside municipal and volunteer Fire/EMS agencies, becoming an integrated part of the departments and communities they serve. No routine interfacility transports. No facility-to-facility work. Our focus is 911 emergency response.

With multiple locations, different EMS systems, and flexible opportunities, NEFR gives clinicians the ability to experience EMS beyond a single department while still becoming part of the teams and communities they serve.

Whether you're looking for a full-time position, additional per-diem opportunities, or simply a new environment to practice high-quality paramedicine, NEFR offers an opportunity to do meaningful 911 work with a growing organization that values its people.

About Northeast Fire-Rescue

Northeast Fire-Rescue partners with Fire and EMS organizations throughout Connecticut to strengthen their operational readiness and ensure their communities have access to highly qualified emergency responders when they call 911.

Our team members aren't simply there to "fill a shift." They work alongside our partnering departments, becoming part of their teams and helping support their operations, culture, and mission.

Our commitment is simple: provide exceptional people, deliver exceptional service, and help our partners provide the highest level of care to their communities.

About the Role

As a NEFR EMT, you'll serve as the highest-level medical provider on emergency calls and provide advanced prehospital care to patients experiencing medical, traumatic, and other time-sensitive emergencies.

You'll work alongside Paramedics, firefighters, law enforcement, dispatchers, other EMTs, and hospital teams to assess, stabilize, treat, and transport patients while making critical decisions in dynamic environments.

We're looking for clinicians who are confident in their abilities but remain humble, coachable, dependable, and committed to being great teammates.
