I have been BOTH a career AND volunteer Firefighter- Paramedic for over 35 years now and it has been such a rewarding life-style. Both of my sons are volunteer Firefighters also and hope to go full time career in the near future as well. Giving back to your community like this is the best feeling in the world next to being a parent.

Give it some real thought,because it’s a real commitment did 36 years in West Sussex ,was commonly known as part time,and part time it certainly isn’t!a good window in beco whole time

[@dylan931]

I just emailed about a on call/ part time vacany do you think I’m the future that would become full time ?

[@swt2296]

@@dylan931 a lot of brigades allow a transfer but you will not get a free pass to the wholetime. You normally have to do a transfer interview plus fitness tests again.

I love to only problem is they don't help people with Dyslexia

[@nickdennis7467]

They do help if you have Dyslexia I have Dyslexia and I’ve now been in for seventeen years now and for eight of them I’ve been a crew commander but you do need proof that you do have Dyslexia and once they gave it then they will support you through all the tests. Don’t do what I did and put it off because of a disability go for it if you fail the first time like I did dust your self off and have another go and you never know you will pass like I did and I’ve never looked Back since but never let a disability get in the way of something you want to do it’s one of life’s challenges that you can overcome good luck with what you choose

[@swt2296]

They definitely do it’s a level requirement for any employer to provide reasonable assistance/ adjustments to people who meet criteria.

@Katrina * why am I discriminating? I'm asking a serious question??

[@eoghan375]

@@greghone6421 oh it's a serious question? Then let me answer it for you. Around 96% of the UK fire service are white. Not far off that are male. I would strongly suggest that showing these two was an effort to get more representation in the force. Screw them right?
