Job Description
About Us
Our staff come from all walks of life, regardless of sex, religion or ethnicity. What they all have in common is self-reliance, confidence, respect, enthusiasm, team spirit and a willingness to be ready for anything when they are alerted to an emergency.
We have 25 fire stations serving our local communities and crews available to respond 24 hours a day.
About the role
Being an On Call firefighter is a paid, professional role .
As an On Call firefighter you will receive the same training as our wholetime firefighters but instead of being based at a fire station you would be called out to respond to incidents when alerted. On average you could be expected to be called out two or three times each week for about an hour at a time, this can be at night or during the day.
Every week you will need to attend a drill night to take part in training exercises and carry out equipment maintenance. You may also spend time working within your local community to help reduce the risk of fires and incidents by attending local events and performing Safe and Well checks .
To apply you need to be over 18, live or work within five minutes of a recruiting fire station and be able to respond at a moment’s notice.
We normally request our on-call firefighters spend a minimum of 40 hours per week On Call, with some people choosing to cover the maximum quota of 120 hours per week. You won’t spend all this time working - it’s just the time you’re available for us to call you if there’s an incident.
You can choose when you want to provide cover. This could be during the daytime, evening or weekends, or a combination of the three.
Your local station will match your availability with the needs of the station.
We would encourage you to visit our corporate website to learn about the recruitment steps of becoming an On Call fire fighter, the link is below.
About you
Our On Call firefighters come from every walk of life, we have On Call firefighters who are self-employed, work from home and parents with children at school. As well as shopkeepers, builders, plumbers, office workers and people who are not currently employed.
What is important is that you are enthusiastic and can meet certain essential requirements. This can be physically demanding and therefore physical fitness is of utmost importance. Previous experience is not required as we provide a comprehensive training programme.
Rewards and Benefits
Our firefighters receive over £7000 worth of free raining that will prepare you to protect and save lives in your community.
Be the backbone of Oxfordshire’s Fire and Rescue Service and get rewarded for it.
Most important of all: they know they are serving and protecting their local community.
