Firefighter in On-Call Service

Description:

Strömstad Municipality is a small and close-knit organization where everyone is important and works together to deliver the best possible service. The Fire and Rescue Service in Strömstad Municipality operates two fire stations, one in Strömstad and one in Skee. We aim to be one of the best rescue services in Västra Götaland, alongside Halden, Tanum, and Sotenäs municipalities, which are our collaboration partners. 4 position(s). JOB DUTIES In Strömstad Municipality, firefighters, also called on-call rescue service personnel, are employed part-time in our rescue service. This means that as a firefighter, you have a regular employer and work on-call as a firefighter alongside your main job. With us, you are on-call as a firefighter every fourth week, which means that if an alarm comes in during your on-call period, you leave your workplace, your training session, or your Friday plans to respond as a firefighter. Work as a firefighter is varied and can range from fires and traffic accidents to providing medical care while awaiting an ambulance. We are now recruiting more firefighters for the stations in Skee and Strömstad! Employment as a firefighter provides you with opportunities for personal development and plays an important role in our community. We provide the necessary training for you to work as a firefighter, and we actively work with further training and regular exercises - all to ensure we are the best when it matters. QUALIFICATIONS • You have good physical fitness, full vision and hearing, and are a competent swimmer. • Driver's license requirement: at least category B, category C is a merit. • The requirement is that you have permanent employment with your regular employer. • You must be able to be on-call for seven days (Mon-Mon) during a four-week period. The time from when an alarm is received by the rescue service until the first rescue vehicle leaves the station must be a maximum of 5 minutes for the Strömstad station and 8 minutes for the Skee station. This means that your residence and workplace must be near one of the fire stations so that you can meet the response time requirement. Remember to discuss this with your regular employer. Upon employment, we require written approval from your employer that you can work as on-call rescue service personnel, as this means you will leave your work immediately when an alarm comes in and must be able to take time off for training and exercises as needed. The Rescue Service is teamwork, and we welcome you as a team player to show interest in becoming on-call rescue service personnel! If you are qualified as a firefighter, we will invite you to our "test day" where tests including treadmill, heights, and claustrophobia tests will be conducted. For the test day, you need to bring a certificate of swimming proficiency and a statement from your employer. Employment form: Fixed-term employment. Duration: Permanent (until further notice). Regarding the recruitment process, we have made decisions about recruitment channels and marketing. We therefore firmly decline contact from media sellers, recruitment sites, and similar parties.
