Cowes, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom Shared Services Partnership Full time
Job Summary

This role offers the opportunity to make a real contribution to the community as an on-call firefighter responding to a range of emergencies and engaging with the public.

About the Role

An on-call firefighter is a paid person employed by the Shared Services Partnership who is 'on call' to respond to emergencies and engage with their community. They have everyday lives and jobs, until their pager sounds - then they become professional firefighters.

The work may be called 'part-time', but on-call firefighters are trained and experienced individuals on the front line, saving lives and protecting people and community assets. On-call firefighters are paid for their services, they receive thorough training and learn all they need to know about emergency situations as well as additional personal skills.

On-call firefighters come from all areas of the community. For example, they could be men and women who are at home, in full or part-time employment, working for themselves, studying at college or university, or not currently employed. They are exceptional individuals who give their time to assist the fire and rescue service and help protect their communities.

This is a demanding role, but it offers the chance to form close working relationships with other team members, essential when dealing with an emergency, and further enhanced by attending community events.

On-call firefighters do not just fight fires, they are involved in a wide variety of situations ranging from community fire safety, flooding, co-responding, road accidents and chemical spills to retrieving animals from awkward situations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Responding to emergencies and engaging with the community
  • Providing fire safety advice and education
  • Participating in training and development activities

Requirements

  • Able to reach the fire station quickly and safely after being alerted to an incident
  • Physical fitness is essential
