Winchester, Hampshire, United Kingdom Shared Services Partnership Full time
Job Details:

Salary Range: £5,332 per annum plus additional incident call out payments at £16.54 per hour

Work Location: Winchester Fire Station

Hours per week: Minimum of 35 on-call hours per week

Contract Type: Permanent

The Role:

An on-call firefighter is a paid person employed by the fire and rescue service who is 'on call' to respond to a range of emergencies and to 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 people 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 people who give their time to assist the fire and rescue service and help protect their communities.

There is no doubt it is a demanding role, but in return offers the chance to make a real contribution. You will form close working relationships with the other members of the team, essential when dealing with an emergency, and further enhanced by other aspects of the role such as 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:

  • Respond to emergency calls and engage with the community
  • Participate in training and development to enhance skills and knowledge
  • Work closely with other team members to achieve common goals
  • Attend community events to promote fire safety and awareness

Requirements:

  • Ability to work on-call and respond to emergencies
  • Physical fitness and ability to reach the fire station quickly and safely
  • Good communication and teamwork skills
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced and dynamic environment
