SECTION 1 OF 4 About you The basics, so we can reach you and confirm a couple of essentials. Do you hold a valid driver's licence? (if so, which class) Not required to apply, however will be required for full duties.
Select one Yes, Class 5 (standard) Yes, Class 5 GDL (probationary) Yes, Class 4 or higher Yes, Class 1 or 3 No licence right now SECTION 2 OF 4 Time and availability Being honest here helps us work out whether the schedule can actually fit your life, before either of us is disappointed. Is there anything about your work or schedule we should keep in mind? (optional) Only what you are comfortable sharing, and only what helps us figure out logistics. For example, shift work, travel for your job, or seasonal busy spells.
SECTION 3 OF 4 A few honest questions This is the part that matters most to us. Short, plain answers are perfect. We are listening for who you are, not how well you write. Why do you want to do this? * There is no expected answer. Whatever is true for you is the right thing to write.
We would really like to hear this one.
Tell us about a time people were counting on you, and you came through. * It does not have to be dramatic. Work, family, sport, a friend in a tight spot, all of it counts.
Please share a short example.
When things get stressful or chaotic, what do you tend to do? * We are not after a perfect answer. Knowing yourself honestly is the useful thing.
Please tell us a little about this.
What do you think will be the hardest part of this for you? * Everyone has one. Naming it is a good sign, not a bad one.
Please give this one a thought.
Anything else you would like us to know? (optional)
SECTION 4 OF 4 The formal bits Nothing here is a test. It is the small print done plainly, so you know exactly what comes next. Medical and fitness * The role has real physical and mental demands. If you are offered a place, you may be required to complete a job-related medical examination and fitness assessment first. We will tell you exactly what it involves, and we accommodate needs where the law requires.
I understand a job-related medical and fitness assessment is required after a conditional offer.
Please confirm you understand this step.
Criminal record check * Emergency services involve trust and access to people's homes and lives, so a record check is part of joining. Having a record does not automatically rule you out. It is looked at only for relevance to this role and may not be required.
I consent to a criminal record check as part of this process if required.
Consent to a record check is required to proceed.
Do you need any accommodation to take part in this process? (optional) If anything about applying, training, or being assessed would be a barrier for you, tell us here, and we will work with you.
