On-call firefighter

Looking for a role with real purpose, where you can make a difference in your community? Become an on-call firefighter and join a team that saves lives, protects homes, and supports people when they need it most.

No two days are the same – you’ll respond to emergencies when called, whether that’s tackling fires, helping at road incidents, or providing vital community support.

Being an on-call firefighter:

• Is flexible around your life – you’ll carry a pager and respond from home, work, or within five minutes of your local fire station.
• Fits alongside other jobs – many on-call firefighters have full-time or part-time jobs, work for themselves, or are studying.
• Allows you to earn money while you train – you’ll receive an annual wage for your availability, plus additional pay for incidents and training nights.

We need people from all backgrounds and walks of life—if you’re 18 or over, have a good level of fitness and can get to your local station within five minutes, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.
