About Us
Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service operates from 23 strategically located sites across Shropshire. The Service has 3 whole-time stations located in Shrewsbury, Telford and Wellington. On-call firefighters operate from 22 stations. The Service headquarters is in Shrewsbury and the Training Centre is in Telford.
More than 500 full-time and on-call firefighters protect 493,000 residents throughout Shropshire & Telford and Wrekin and attend some 4,000 emergencies annually.
We provide emergency response services for the whole of Shropshire and Telford and Wrekin, operating with 46 vehicles plus specialist appliances.
Our prevention and protection activities also help educate and protect communities we serve and businesses within the area to avoid fires happening in the first place.
A modern fire and rescue service also relies upon a talented team of support staff to help deliver the service the community expects. These roles are wide and varied and include Administration Support, Human Resources, ICT, Finance, Planning & Performance, Resources & Workshops, and Training & Development.
The Role
Shropshire's on-call firefighters provide essential fire cover at 22 stations and 20 are staffed purely by on-call personnel. On-call firefighters have everyday lives and jobs, until their pager sounds; then they immediately make their way to the fire station. They don't work for a back-up team or a second-rate crew. On-call firefighters are professional firefighters, on the front line, saving lives.
What will I do?
Our on-call firefighters are called out to anything from floods and fires to road traffic collisions or chemical spills; we make sure they are trained to deal with everything from extinguishing burning buildings to providing first aid.
What support will you give me?
From day one we're here to support you through the process. Our On-Call Recruitment Team will guide you through the entire process, our Fitness Team will support your fitness journey and our Training Instructors will ensure you're supported during the assessment.
On-call firefighter training and development
Once you've passed your assessment process and been offered employment with us you'll be ready to start training to become an on-call firefighter. This will begin with a two-week training course, which runs Monday – Friday. After this you'll attend evening training sessions which usually last for two hours one evening a week for 10 weeks.
After your initial training you'll of course continue training throughout your career – making sure you're always up to date and confident in your role.
