What you'll be doing

Paramedics are required to work shifts and are rostered according to demand to provide coverage and service delivery to the community of New South Wales 365 days a year on a 24 hour basis.

Paramedics are first contact clinical care service providers delivering advanced, out-of-hospital, emergency and non-emergency care and specialist transport services. Paramedics work collaboratively with other NSW Ambulance clinical care providers and specialists and other health care and emergency services to provide quality, appropriate, and patient centered care to the public.
