Jersey Fire and Rescue Service has launched its latest recruitment campaign, to attract on-call firefighters to the team.
The service is seeking enthusiastic and skilled individuals, from all walks of life and backgrounds to fill the on-call roles before the closing date on 30 November 2024.
Successful candidates will play a part in strengthening and protecting our community – and in the Island’s response to emergencies.
The challenging role of a firefighter means the service is looking for people who work well in a team; people with a positive, professional approach; and people who recognise the value of rules and procedures but are also innovative and can challenge appropriately.
Recruits will also need the ability to deal sensitively with members of the public in difficult and emotional situations and the ability to deliver under pressure, often with great courage and in distressing circumstances.
To encourage prospective candidates to explore these roles, the service is organising three practical taster sessions. The sessions will give a flavour of what it's like to be a firefighter, offering an interactive experience that showcases the physical and mental demands of the role.
Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in simulated firefighting exercises, learn about the various aspects of the job, and engage with experienced firefighters and the recruitment team.
These will be held on:
All welcome taster session:
Date: Saturday 16 November
Time: 11am-3pm
Location: Jersey Fire & Rescue HQ, Rouge Bouillon, St Helier.
Female only taster session:
Date: Saturday 23 November
