Emergency Medical Services
We are Boston's municipal Emergency Medical Service, and one of three public safety agencies who respond to 9-1-1 calls.
Our department is a recognized leader in emergency medical service and the largest municipal EMS in New England. We are staffed by full-time uniformed emergency medical technicians, paramedics, supervisor, and command personnel.
Boston EMS is currently accepting applications for the Cadet program.
Cadets will earn $18/hr as they learn what it takes to become an EMT. Designed as a six-month EMT employment feeder program, cadets will be hired as full-time temporary employees who will complete an in-house EMT training course, obtain state certification, and be prepared for a career as an EMT with Boston EMS. Cadets will be entitled to union membership, health and dental insurance, contributions to paid time off and retirement, as well as access to other benefits including childcare opportunities. After successfully completing the program, cadets will transition directly into the next EMT Recruit Academy, earning $69,372 annually.
