Have you ever thought about becoming a Firefighter? Now’s your chance! We are recruiting both Full Time and On-Call Firefighters to serve our community and help make Jersey safer.

 

As part of our ongoing expansion and commitment to making Jersey Safer, we are creating a Talent Pool for future recruitment opportunities:

 

  • On-Call Firefighters: recruitment planned for May 2026
  • Full Time Firefighters: recruitment planned for January 2027

 

 

Joining the Talent Pool gives you the chance to potentially secure a role within 12 months.

 

Full Time Firefighters

 

Being a Full Time Firefighter is more than a job—it’s a career dedicated to making a positive difference. The States of Jersey Fire & Rescue Service (SJFRS) does much more than just respond to emergencies:

 

  • Preventing fires and other incidents through community engagement and education
  • Helping people reduce risks in their homes and workplaces
  • Protecting vulnerable people and ensuring buildings are safe and compliant
  • Enforcing laws and holding individuals accountable for safety
  • Responding professionally to a wide range of emergencies

 

Full Time Firefighters combine prevention, protection, and emergency response to support Jersey residents when they need it most.

 

On-Call Firefighters

 

On-Call Firefighters typically have another primary employment but respond to emergencies when alerted via a paging App called Fire Service Rota (FSR). Responsibilities include:

 

  • Responding to incidents every 4 days in St Helier, or alternate evenings in St Brelade (currently under review)
  • Handling a variety of emergencies, similar to full-time Firefighters
  • Gaining valuable skills and earning additional income while supporting the community

 

No prior experience is needed—we provide comprehensive training. What matters is enthusiasm, reliability, flexibility, teamwork, and the ability to respond safely and quickly when called. On-call shifts are tailored around your availability, and you may be called out two or three times per week for a few hours at a time.

Jersey Public Service Careers

 

Across the Jersey Public Service, the scope of our work means our people enjoy a wide range of opportunities—working with recognised experts across teams, learning new skills, and developing their careers. We actively seek to recruit people from different backgrounds with diverse perspectives, creating a richer, more varied environment where you’re exposed to new ideas, new ways of thinking, and new opportunities to build an exciting and rewarding career.

 

To maintain the highest standards of public service, we have a rigorous screening process, to ensure candidates align with our values, skills, and professional requirements. This helps us create a trusted, capable workforce that can deliver excellence and safeguard our community.

 

For regulated activity roles (working with children and adults at risk of harm), an enhanced level of screening will be conducted to include enhanced DBS checks.

 

Extraordinary, every day.
