On-call firefighter applications open with Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service
Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is excited to announce that from today, it is taking applications for on-call firefighters at all of Nottinghamshire’s fire stations that have retained crews, except Hucknall.
If you live or work near to an on-call fire station, then this could be your new role.
Station Manager Simon Glew said: “On-call firefighters are a vital part of Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service.
"They provide an efficient, effective service that gives emergency cover across the county, trained to the same standard as our full-time colleagues.
“In Nottinghamshire, on-call firefighters make up 38% of our operational firefighters and are generally located in rural communities, small towns, and villages.
“I’d encourage anyone to apply, even if you’ve never considered a job as a firefighter. Our on-call firefighters get a huge sense of belonging and local recognition, not only from attending incidents but also from the community outreach work.”
Visit the Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service webpage for an insight into the role of an on-call firefighter, as well as details about the recruitment process.
