On-Call Firefighter Talentpool

On-Call Firefighter Talentpool – Hertfordshire County Council

The service includes prevention and protection activities to reduce fires and other incidents, including enforcement of Fire Safety legislation. The On-Call element is fundamental to emergency cover across the county, with firefighters who respond when paged by the Fire Control Centre. Many On-Call firefighters have other jobs and provide cover during weekdays, evenings and weekends.

• Not have any unspent criminal convictions (if you have a criminal record, you must inform us in your application).
• Be less than 4 minutes away from your chosen On-Call fire station (station locations can be found here).

There is no upper age limit for applicants. We are particularly keen to hear from anyone able to provide daytime cover during the week.

• Flexible Working Arrangements (depending on the role).
• Excellent Career Development.
• Salary Exchange for Additional Benefits.
• Excellent Pension Scheme with Employer Contributions.
