Jersey Fire and Rescue recruiting for people with mix of 'experiences and backgrounds'
Jersey Fire and Rescue Service (JFRS) is recruiting for full time and on-call firefighters with a mix of "experiences, backgrounds and perspectives" to join the team.
The service says it is particularly keen to encourage people from all walks of life, and more women, to sign up to take on positions over the next six to 24 months.
People who meet the following criteria are being encourage to apply:
Enthusiasm for working in a team and with local communities
People with a positive, can-do, professional approach
People who recognize the value of rules and procedures but are also innovative
Women and those with different cultural experiences and language skills
Leadership aspiration and potential and those who can challenge the norm
JFRS says if someone is interested in a career with the service but is unsure whether they will be able to do the job to "please think again, and act on your first instinct".
Applicants will be required to pass a series of tests which will lead to a final interview.
JFRS will host open evening events to help potential candidates learn more about what is required.
The first new full-time recruits are expected to commence firefighter training in the UK at the Fire Service College during September 2020.
More details can be found online. The closing date for applications is 23 February 2020.
