The Emergency Services Department (Rescue 1122), Government of Punjab, is recruiting 239 staff for its Headquarters, the Emergency Services Academy and District Lahore through the Central Testing Service (CTS). The biggest intakes are Rescue Drivers (LTV) with 108 posts and Emergency Medical Technicians with 92 posts, followed by Fire DERT Rescuers with 28 posts.

Rescue 1122 is Punjab's emergency ambulance, rescue and fire service. These posts are the operational backbone of the service: EMTs staff the ambulances, rescue drivers drive them, and DERT rescuers handle fire and disaster response.

All posts in this advertisement are temporary and non-transferable, with no right of regularisation. Selection is through written, psychological, physical and skill tests followed by an interview, all conducted under the CTS process. The last date to apply is 6 November 2026.

All of these posts are located in Lahore — at the Headquarters, the Emergency Services Academy and District Lahore — and the recruitment is being handled by the Central Testing Service (CTS). Interested candidates should check the post-wise age and qualification table on this page, apply online at ctspak.com, and also post the application form to CTS before the closing date.

About Emergency Services Department (Rescue 1122), Government of Punjab

Rescue 1122 is the emergency service of the Government of Punjab, working under the Emergency Services Department. The service was started in Lahore in 2004 and was then expanded to districts across Punjab. It provides emergency ambulance, rescue and fire services to the public through the single emergency helpline 1122. Its ambulances respond to road accidents, medical emergencies and disasters; its fire vehicles handle fire incidents; and its rescue teams respond to building collapses, drowning cases and other emergencies where trained staff and equipment are needed quickly.

The Emergency Services Academy in Lahore is the training institution of the service, where emergency medical technicians, rescue drivers, fire rescuers and other staff are trained for field duty. The Headquarters in Lahore manages the service for the whole province. The posts in this advertisement strengthen exactly this operational system: the Headquarters and Academy at the centre, and the District Lahore emergency cover on the ground. Staff recruited against these posts become part of the teams that answer 1122 calls in Lahore.

Vacant Positions — Post-Wise Details

The 239 posts are spread over seven positions at the Headquarters, the Emergency Services Academy and District Lahore. Rescue Drivers are the largest single group, followed by Emergency Medical Technicians, while the medical officer, hostel and attendant posts are small in number. The post-wise detail below gives posts, grade, age limit and qualification for each position.

• Emergency Officer (Medical): The Emergency Officer (Medical) supervises medical care in emergency response, guides Emergency Medical Technicians on serious cases, checks treatment protocols and coordinates with hospitals for the referral and care of patients.
• Emergency Medical Technician: EMTs staff the ambulances: they reach the patient first, give first aid and basic life support, stabilise the patient and shift him safely to hospital while keeping the control room informed.
• Rescue Driver (LTV): Rescue Drivers drive ambulances and rescue vehicles to emergency scenes quickly and safely, keep their vehicles ready at all times, and assist the crew in shifting patients and equipment at the scene.
• Fire DERT Rescuer: Fire DERT Rescuers fight fires and respond to disasters: they operate fire and rescue equipment, enter emergency sites in protective gear, and rescue people trapped by fire, collapse or accidents.
• Hostel Warden (Female): The Hostel Warden manages the residential hostel of the Emergency Services Academy: room allotment, discipline, mess arrangements and the welfare and safety of the women trainees and staff residing there.
• Assistant Hostel Warden (Female): The Assistant Hostel Warden helps the Warden run the Academy hostel day to day: maintaining attendance and room records, checking facilities, and attending to the routine needs and complaints of residents.
• Attendant (Female): Attendants perform housekeeping duties at the assigned facility: cleaning and upkeep of rooms and common areas, linen and laundry support, and helping residents and staff with the daily routines of the facility.

Eligibility Criteria — Who Can Apply

• Emergency Officer (Medical) — 5 posts, age 24–32: MBBS with valid PMDC/PMC registration (PPS-07)
• Emergency Medical Technician — 92 posts, age 20–30: Nursing or Paramedical degree/diploma (second division) from a recognised board, council or university (PPS-03)
• Rescue Driver (LTV) — 108 posts, age 20–30: Secondary School Certificate (second division) with a valid LTV driving licence (PPS-02)
• Fire DERT Rescuer — 28 posts, age 20–30: DAE (second division) in Chemical, Electronics, Mining, Mechanical, Civil, Electrical, Telecommunication or Architecture (PPS-03)
• Hostel Warden (Female) — 1 post, age 24–35: Bachelor's degree (14 years of education) in Social Sciences, Psychology or Management from an HEC-recognised university (PPS-05)

• Attendant (Female) — 4 posts, age 22–35: Matriculation with a housekeeping certificate (PPS-02)
• All posts are located in Lahore (Headquarters, Emergency Services Academy, District Lahore)

Every post in this advertisement has its own age limit and qualification, and the two must be read together. The age bands are 20 to 30 years for the Emergency Medical Technician, Rescue Driver and Fire DERT Rescuer posts; 24 to 32 years for Emergency Officer (Medical); 24 to 35 years for Hostel Warden; 22 to 30 years for Assistant Hostel Warden; and 22 to 35 years for Attendant. Where the advertisement asks for a qualification in second division — the EMT diploma, the Rescue Driver's Secondary School Certificate and the DERT Rescuer's DAE — second division in general means at least 45% marks in that examination, and the division shown on your result card is what will be counted.

The qualification must come from a recognised institution: a board, council or university recognised for that qualification, and for the Hostel Warden posts an HEC-recognised university. The Emergency Officer (Medical) must hold MBBS with valid PMDC/PMC registration — an expired registration is not a formality, it is part of eligibility. The Rescue Driver must hold a valid LTV driving licence; a learner's permit does not serve the purpose. The Hostel Warden, Assistant Hostel Warden and Attendant posts are for female candidates only, as marked against them.

Two conditions apply to all 239 posts. All positions are located in Lahore — Headquarters, Emergency Services Academy and District Lahore — and all are temporary and non-transferable, with no right of regularisation. A candidate who is looking for a permanent or home-district posting should understand this clearly before applying.

Salary & Benefits

No monthly salary figure is printed in the advertisement, and none is therefore shown on this page. What the advertisement fixes is the grade of each post under the Project Pay Scales: PPS-07 for Emergency Officer (Medical), PPS-05 for Hostel Warden, PPS-03 for Emergency Medical Technician, Fire DERT Rescuer and Assistant Hostel Warden, and PPS-02 for Rescue Driver and Attendant.

PPS grades are used for project-based posts instead of the regular BPS grades, and the pay package of each PPS grade is fixed under the project's approved policy. Because these are temporary project posts, the package continues under the terms of the project appointment. Candidates should rely only on the grade printed against their post and on the terms given in the appointment documents, not on any rupee figure quoted by unofficial sources.

Selection Process

Recruitment is conducted through the Central Testing Service (CTS). After applications close, candidates face a series of stages: a written test, a psychological test, a physical test and a skill test, followed by an interview. These stages are the same process described in the advertisement; the operational posts are physically demanding, so the physical and skill stages carry real weight — the skill stage checks practical ability for the post, such as driving for Rescue Drivers and practical emergency skills for EMTs and Fire Rescuers.

As general preparation guidance: keep your documents and CTS roll number information safe, watch the CTS website for the test schedule of your post, and prepare on two tracks — the written syllabus side and physical fitness — because a candidate must pass each stage to reach the interview.

• Printout of the online CTS application form
• Attested copy of your CNIC
• Recent passport-size photographs

Terms & Conditions

The advertisement itself states the main terms: all posts are temporary and non-transferable, and they carry no right of regularisation at any stage. Selected candidates will serve at their Lahore station — Headquarters, Emergency Services Academy or District Lahore — under the terms of their project appointment. The department may increase or decrease the number of posts, or cancel the recruitment, at its discretion. No TA/DA is admissible for tests or interviews. Only candidates who pass each stage of the CTS process are called to the next one, and a candidate who provides false information or documents can be disqualified whenever the fact comes to light.
