On-Call Firefighter Vacancies

Are you serious about fire safety, passionate about helping people and able to demonstrate the skills relevant to being a modern-day firefighter?

This is an exciting opportunity for enthusiastic, dedicated individuals who share our values to embark on a career in the fire service. Our organisation would not exist without our firefighters who work in an extremely demanding, challenging, yet rewarding role.

Everyone has their own idea of what a firefighter does - the truth is that putting out fires is only a small element of what our crews do. Our firefighters respond to a range of emergencies that may also include road traffic collisions, flooding and other natural disasters. Firefighters also carry out really important work in promoting community safety, talking and listening to people, getting involved and sharing knowledge and preventing emergencies before they happen in order to save lives.

Individuals who are successful in this process will be employed as an On-Call Firefighter.

As an On-Call Firefighter you will need to be available to respond to emergency incidents from your home or workplace within 5 minutes of the station.

We will need you to be able to provide a minimum of 30 hours cover per week.

Your cover can be provided from your home or workplace. There is no expectation for you to be actively undertaking any duties in relation to the On-Call Firefighter role for this period unless there is a requirement for you to attend an incident.

During your development in role, you will be trained to become a fully competent Firefighter (usually within 2 years). Following completion of your development into a Competent Firefighter you will be given access to further training, skills, and development opportunities to progress in your career.
