Job Description:
Please note, not all of our stations are currently recruiting. However, you may still submit an initial application and, subject to meeting the response time criteria, we will contact you when they reopen for applications.
Additionally, Springbourne, Westbourne, Redhill Park and Westlea are crewed by wholetime firefighters only so are not open to applications for On-call Firefighters.
Who are On-Call Firefighters?
On-call firefighters live or work close to their local fire station and can respond quickly to emergencies when paged. They are paid professionals who can be called to a wide range of incidents, such as commercial and domestic fires, road traffic collisions, rescues from height or water, animal rescue or flooding.
Around two thirds of the firefighters in Dorset and Wiltshire work on an on-call basis, making them hugely important to both the Service and the communities that they serve.
We are an equal opportunities employer, and we are committed to putting equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do. We welcome applications from all members of our community and encourage women, black, Asian and minority ethnic communities and the LGBTQ community to join us.
Have you got what it takes?
The role of a firefighter is very rewarding and it requires determination, courage, motivation, and a genuine desire to serve the community. Successful candidates will become part of a well-trained workforce, earning additional income, and gaining skills such as first aid, driving qualifications and health & safety knowledge that are transferrable into any primary employment.
Please click the link to read through the requirements to be an on-call firefighter on our website 'Have you got what it takes' if you have, we would welcome your application as long as you:
1. Are at least 18 years old when you join us (you can apply once you are 17½);
2. Live or work near the fire station so you can respond quickly;
3. Have a good standard of physical fitness; and
4. Have the right to work in the UK.
Which stations can I apply to?
You can apply for any of our on-call stations across our Service area. When submitting an application, you will be asked to choose one station to apply for (you cannot apply for more than one at this stage).
Please note that if you are NOT a passport holder of the country for the vacancy you might need a work permit.
Bank or payment details should not be provided when applying for a job. All applications should be made via the 'Apply now' button.
