Mullumbimby Fire and Rescue are looking to recruit a new on-call firefighter for the Mullumbimby 388 station.
The role involves being available to respond to fires quickly, by getting to the station and into the truck, to be on your way within about 15 minutes.
‘We’ve got a really great team and our station is really family friendly,’ said firefighter Kimberley Waldron.
Currently, the on-call Fire and Rescue NSW team at Mullumbimby is made up of two women and 13 men, and they are looking for a new team member to replace a retiring member.
‘All training is provided,’ said Kimberley.
Acquired skills
‘You need to be an Australian resident or citizen and have a valid drivers licence. I’d never driven a manual vehicle before I became a firefighter, and now I can drive a 13 tonne manual truck,’ she said.
‘The job has given me the confidence that I can handle whatever life gives me. It is a great way to give back to the community. For example, when there are floods or fires you are out there helping people in need.’
If you are interested in becoming an on-call firefighter at the Mullumbimby Station you must have your application submitted by April 21. To apply, visit careers.fire.nsw.gov.au/jobs/search/search-page-regional-north.
