Our wholetime transferee recruitment aims to create a pool of candidates available to fulfil substantive wholetime firefighter vacancies as and when they arise. Please note gaining a place within this pool does not guarantee a position.
Wholetime transferee recruitment is open to:
- on-call firefighters from Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service (CFRS) who are currently competent in post
- wholetime competent firefighters from out-of-county fire and rescue services (local authority)
- on-call firefighters who are competent from out-of-county fire and rescue services (local authority)
- on-call firefighters from within CFRS who are due to take their final stage review before 31/05/2025.
We will review CFRS applicants’ PDR profile when they apply. Non-CFRS applicants will need to provide evidence of compliance at point of application. This will include the following areas:
- Breathing apparatus
- Fitness assessment
- Medical
Applicants must not hold any current disciplinary sanctions.
