Fire and Rescue Service (KFRS) is recruiting on-call fire firefighters
and you could be just the person that we are looking for! On-call
firefighters come in all shapes and sizes, all ages and from all
walks of life – office workers, beauticians, farmers, bankers,
builders, stay-at-home-parents. It doesn’t matter whether
you are already working or not, KFRS wants to hear from you if
you are: At least 18 years old / Have a good all round level of
fitness / Live or work within five minutes of one of the recruiting
on-call fire stations and Able to offer the hours we need to deal
with the risk in your area
On-call
firefighters are paid to be available for an agreed number of
hours. During that time you can go about your normal activity
at home or work, until your pager goes off, then you must be able
to drop what you are doing and become a professional firefighter.
Depending on the type of cover you give, you may respond from
home/and or work, day and/or night anywhere so long as you can
get to the fire station within five minutes.
KFRS Director
of Operations, Sean Bone-Knell, said: “Firefighting can
be unpredictable, rewarding and exciting but you will also have
the satisfaction and respect that comes with providing a vital
service to your local community. “You will be saving lives,
reducing risks and will be there when people need you, responding
to a wide range of emergency situations including fires, road
crashes, floods, chemical spills, medical emergencies and more.”
All KFRS’
firefighters are highly trained professionals and on-call crews
get the same first class training as their full time colleagues.
You will use the same equipment and do the same job, while learning
a wide range of new transferable skills that can help in your
full time job or other areas of your life, such as: fire safety,
first aid and trauma care, health and safety, Sean ended: "Team
work is a major part of being a firefighter, you will also need
to be quick thinking, have good communication skills and be able
to keep calm in difficult situations. We are looking for people
who are motivated, reliable and committed to helping keep people
safe."
