NorthStar crews are involved in thousands of hours of community service each year. CPR trainings and presentations at area schools are just a few of the ways that NorthStar contributes back to the community.

Thank you for your interest in NorthStar. If you are considering working for NorthStar as part of our full-time, part-time or PRN (per diem) staff, please consider the following:

• For any of our EMT positions, you must have a valid, current Maine EMT license at the level posted. For a driver position, the EMT license is not required
• For Paramedic positions, you must, in addition to a Maine EMT-P or NREMT-P license, also have PIFT certificate. ACLS and PALS certificate strongly desirable (and, in some cases, required.)
• You must have a current CPR card.
• You must have completed and passed a Ambulance Vehicle Operator's Course (AVOC). This may be waived subject to passing this course within the first 6 months of hire.
• You must have a valid driver's license and a satisfactory driving record.
• You must satisfactorily complete all required pre-employment screens (which includes a physical exam).

For those not currently an EMT but interested in becoming an EMT, we suggest that you contact TriCounty EMS at (207) 795-2880. That office can give you information on how to apply for Basic courses, provide schedules and applications for courses, and all the requirements for becoming a part of the Emergency Medical Technician family.

The NorthStar Bike Medic Team is a key part of NorthStar's system. The Bike Team is fully equipped with state-of-the-art bicycles and supplies to carry high quality medical care into the field.  The team shines at community festivals, bike events, and wherever a team of EMTs need to be in the middle of a crowd. The team also brings its message of bike safety and fun to elementary school classes. Arrayed in their safety yellow uniforms, you'll agree that this team is one of the best bike teams in the state... Ready, responsive and reliable for any situation.

NorthStar Backcountry Medical Response Team is charged with responding to ill and injured persons in an off-road environment in the forests, mountains, lakes and rivers within the NorthStar EMS response area, and, in collaboration with the Maine Warden Service and other wilderness rescue responders, providing public education as well as emergency medical care using the highest level of wilderness prehospital care providers available.

NorthStar offers a Community Paramedicine program that has emergency medical technicians (EMTs) and paramedics making house calls to vulnerable patients to educate them, monitor their condition, and if needed, provide treatment.

Primary care and hospital-based doctors refer individuals to the program. Patients who qualify are generally those who have been newly released from the hospital; those who have had a recent surgery; those who have multiple chronic conditions; and those with safety concerns in the home.

At no cost, specially trained EMTs provide patient care in the home offering services such as: vital signs and weight monitoring, high blood pressure checks, glucose testing and diabetes management, medication assistance, flu shots, and fall prevention and safety education.

EMTs report back to referring providers any issues or concerns that may affect their patients’ recovery.

Let your physician know if you are interested in participating in the NorthStar Community Paramedicine Program. Upon receipt of his or her referral, NorthStar will contact you directly about scheduling an appointment.
