The role is practical, hands-on and requires a decent level of physical fitness. There will be occasions to stay overnight up to three times per month, for which costs will be covered.

Everyone who works for us, or with us, shares our Values, which are formed around our concept of CARE (Commitment, Ambition, Respect and Excellence). We are proud and committed to ensuring we bring this to life every day, for ourselves, each other and those who lost their lives.
