New Castle County is currently accepting applications from individuals interested in entry-level opportunities as paramedics. Selected candidates will be employed as full-time employees by the New Castle County Government and enrolled in a paramedic training program. Selected candidates will be required to sign a (5) year service obligation contract.
“The information sessions are an excellent opportunity for individuals interested in becoming a paramedic to learn about the position and the applicant selection processes,” said Chief Lawrence E. Tan of the New Castle County Paramedics. “Attendees at the information sessions will also be able to ask questions from both the EMS Division recruitment staff, County Office of Human Resources staff and currently practicing paramedics who have been through both the selection process and the paramedic academy training program.”
