Why This Role is Valuable
The City of Cedar Hill, Texas has immediate Single-Role Paramedic positions to fill!
Anticipated Hire Date: October 5, 2026
$5,000 Hiring Incentive
The Cedar Hill Fire Department is dedicated to providing exceptional service to our community and making a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. Through every patient interaction and emergency response, we help strengthen our community, one life at a time.
We are seeking highly motivated, service-driven Paramedics to join our team, with an anticipated hire date of 10/5/2026. Multiple positions are available for professionals who are passionate about delivering high-quality prehospital care and serving the Cedar Hill community with compassion, skill, and professionalism. This is a single-role Paramedic position (not serving in a Firefighting capacity).
Under the direction of the on-duty Battalion Chief, company officer, or designated unit OIC, the Single-Role Paramedic provides advanced life support (ALS) emergency medical assessment, treatment, and transportation to sick and injured persons under the clinical authority of the EMS System Medical Director (Bio-Tel) and in accordance with applicable clinical practice guidelines, department policies, and law. The employee operates and maintains emergency medical vehicles, equipment, medications, and communications systems; completes required patient-care and operational documentation; and participates in training, quality-improvement, readiness, community-health, and other assigned EMS activities. This is a non-firefighter EMS position and does not perform structural fire-suppression duties. The employee may assist with patient access, movement, rehabilitation, medical monitoring, and other non-suppression activities at fire, rescue, disaster, or special-event incidents when directed and appropriately trained. This position reports to the Assistant Chief of EMS or designee. Clinical practice is governed by the EMS System Medical Director. During orientation and field training, the employee works under the direction of assigned MOT/FTO personnel. The employee may be designated as the lead paramedic on an EMS unit and may provide clinical guidance to EMTs, students, probationary employees, and other assigned personnel; this designation does not confer supervisory rank unless separately appointed.
Potential Schedule: Full-time, 40-hour workweek. Paramedics will typically be assigned two to three 12-hour shifts per week on the department's Monday-Friday, 7 a.m.-7 p.m. peak-time ambulance.
