On-Call Firefighters - Join Staffordshire Fire Service
On-Call Firefighters are a vital part of the Fire Service, providing efficient emergency response to Staffordshire communities.
What is an On-Call Firefighter?
They respond to emergencies from their home or work base. Eligibility requires living or working near a fire station; applications are considered individually.
After initial training, they attend weekly drills to maintain skills, with additional training throughout the year. They also participate in community fire safety initiatives, including safe & well visits and school programs.
Is a Firefighting Career Right for You?
Take this self-assessment to see if your perceptions match the role. Answering 'yes' to all questions suggests firefighting could be your career:
* Would you like to use your life skills daily?
* Would you enjoy working as part of a team?
* Are you interested in community engagement and facing new challenges?
* Are you willing to work nights, evenings, weekends, and holidays?
* Are you prepared to work outdoors in cold, hazardous conditions?
* Can you handle stressful situations positively and professionally, providing first aid to those in distress?
Requirements to Become an On-Call Firefighter
You must live or work within five minutes of your local fire station for immediate response. Check with your local station for boundary details.
Many are employed full-time elsewhere and can leave work when needed; others cover nights or weekends. The role is also suitable for unemployed individuals.
As an On-Call Firefighter, you will play a full role in Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service, earning community respect and job satisfaction comparable to full-time firefighters.
Key Requirements
* A genuine desire to support your community
* Enthusiasm and willingness to work in a team
* Good physical fitness
You will need to agree on your availability with the Station Manager, which requires visiting your nearest station, preferably on drill nights.
