Description
Now Hiring: Paramedics & EMTs - Join the Gold Standard in EMS

Beaufort County EMS is seeking highly skilled and dedicated EMS professionals to join our premier, non-fire-based 911 emergency medical service.

What Makes Beaufort County EMS Different:
Dedicated 911 EMS Response - We are not fire-based and do not provide routine facility transports.

No Firefighting Duties - Focus exclusively on emergency medical response.

Anticipated 24/72 Shift Schedule (Effective January 1, 2026) - Extended recovery and personal time built into your schedule.

Competitive Compensation - Includes salary, benefits, and paid holidays.

High-Quality Resources - Modern equipment, professional uniforms, and body armor provided.

Balanced Call Volume - Approximately 21,000 calls annually with 11 frontline ambulances and 5 Quick Response Vehicles (QRVs). Unlike larger systems with the same number of units responding to 50,000+ calls, our structure supports better call distribution, less fatigue, and higher quality patient care.
We understand the challenges EMS personnel face in dual-response or transport-heavy systems. At Beaufort County EMS, we've built a structure that allows you to focus on what you do best-delivering exceptional pre-hospital care.
If you're looking for a forward-thinking agency that prioritizes professional development, employee well-being, and operational excellence, we invite you to apply.
