New on the Hub: Fire Service Jobs

A line of Firefighters in fire kit

Finding out that your local fire service is recruiting often comes down to word of mouth, a notice in the local paper or a post you happen to see on social media. Vacancies are spread across 27 council websites, the Local Government Jobs website and the airports’ own careers pages, and many close within a few weeks.

So we’ve brought them together. The new Fire Service Jobs page lists current Firefighter and fire officer vacancies from fire services across Ireland, in one place.

What’s on the page

  • Open now: each job shows the role, the fire service, the stations, the closing date and a link to the official advert. Jobs closing within 7 days are marked Closing soon.
  • Recently closed: jobs that closed in the last week, so you can see which services are recruiting even if you just missed one.
  • Where jobs are advertised: links to the recruitment pages of every local authority fire service, Dublin Fire Brigade and the airport fire services. Bookmark yours.

At launch there are seven vacancies listed, including retained Firefighter posts in Galway, Kilkenny, Laois, Longford and Waterford, and two Assistant Chief Fire Officer posts.

Checked twice a week

We check the fire services for new vacancies every Monday and Wednesday, and the page is updated as jobs open and close.

Seen a vacancy we’ve missed?

If your station or service is recruiting and it’s not on the page, send the link to info@irishfirefighterhub.ie and we’ll add it. Retained crews especially rely on local people hearing about vacancies, so share the page with anyone you think would make a good Firefighter.

Please note: the Irish Firefighter Hub is not the employer and does not take applications. Always apply through the official advert, and check the details there, as closing dates can change.
