Retained Firefighter
QUALIFICATIONS Character Each candidate must be of good character and the successful applicant may be subject to Garda Vetting prior to any appointment being confirmed. Age Each candidate must be at least 18 years of age on 1 May 2026. Retirement age for Retained Fire fighters is 55 years of age (up to 62 years of age subject to conditions). Health Each candidate must be free from any defects which would render that person unsuitable to perform the duties of the post and be in a state of health such as would indicate a reasonable prospect of ability to render regular and efficient service. For the purpose of satisfying this requirement, it will be necessary to undergo at the candidate’s own expense an initial medical examination by a qualified medical practitioner to be nominated by Cork County Council. Note the requirement to complete and pass the Chester Step Test detailed below. On taking up appointment, the expense of the medical examination will be refunded to the candidate. Retained Fire fighters will be required to undergo regular and ad hoc medical examinations at any time. Given the strenuous nature of fire fighting duties, the medical examination will be of a very thorough nature. Please note that the following disabilities will render an applicant unsuitable for fire fighting duties and will lead to disqualification at the examination. History of epilepsy Alcohol or drug dependency Obesity Chronic bronchitis or asthma or other disabling disease of the lungs Organic disease of the cardiovascular system Diabetes mellitus Unaided vision less than 6/12 in either eye Inability to hear a forced whisper or conversational voice separately in either ear at 20 feet Evidence of labyrinthine disturbance A history of vertigo or an illness which would affect sense of balance History of mental instability Please note that it is recommended that Retained Fire fighters be vaccinated against the Hepatitis B Virus and in this connection the vaccine will be made available free of charge to successful candidates. Fitness Test Part of the pre employment medical examination includes completing the fitness test. Candidates successful at interview must successfully complete the fitness test prior to employment being offered. The fitness test at the recruit medical is the Chester Step Test. The Chester Step Test measures aerobic capacity and fitness and entails a moderately vigorous level of physical activity. The level of fitness needed to pass this test requires regular exercise and the test pass level is difficult to achieve if the candidate does not already have a good level of physical fitness prior to the test. Medical examiner advice is that fitness needed for this test does not come overnight; realistically it takes at least a few weeks and often longer to appreciably improve your fitness level. Candidates who fail the initial Chester Step Test will be offered one further fitness test only. This may be a Chester Step Test or a Shuttle Run test, as determined by Cork County Council. No further retests will be offered. Residence and Availability Only applicants from competent persons who reside and work within 2 miles of the fire station of the relevant unit and whose ordinary activity does not take them away from the town in which a brigade is located will be considered. On receipt of a fire or other emergency call you should be in attendance at the station within five minutes. Unemployed persons are not precluded from applying, provided that they satisfy the residence and availability requirements. Licence Each applicant must hold a full current Category B European Community Model Driving Licence free from endorsement.

Across the 24 weeks where a Retained Firefighter is rostered off they can, if they so wish, attend incidents.

This agreement has to be notified and agreed with by the Station Officer or Sub Station Officer in advance. This is to guarantee that the Station Officer is in a position to ensure that the minimum manning levels for each station are met before any cover arrangement can be approved. Retained Firefighters must normally reside and work in the town where the Brigade is located and in such a proximity to the Fire Station which will allow him or her to respond within the turnout time set by the Chief Fire Officer (current requirement is a target timeframe of five minutes for the first appliance to leave the station). It is necessary that he or she be released from his or her normal employment on the occasions that attendance at incidents demands such release. Changes of residence or workplace must be notified in writing to the Chief Fire Officer. Failure to do so may result in termination of employment as a Firefighter. Any change of residence or place of work that puts the Firefighter at a distance or turnout times more than that permitted by the Chief Fire Officer from the Fire Station, or to a location unacceptable to the Chief Fire Officer, will result in termination of employment as a Firefighter.

Annual Leave Four weeks annual leave per annum in addition to the annual payment of the retainer. Furthermore, payment for annual leave is confirmed as being 8 percent of earnings. These earnings will be calculated on the basis of the previous year’s earnings excluding the retainer, clothing allowance and payment for annual leave and public holiday leave in the previous year.

Any Retained Fire fighter guilty of infringement of this regulation will be dismissed.

While on duty, Retained Fire fighters shall use the clothing and personal equipment provided by the Council and the same shall be left in the station immediately after the cessation of duty. Retained Fire fighters may not use such clothing and equipment save while on duty. Retained Fire fighters must comply fully with safety policy and directives in force from time to time. Rostering of Retained Fire fighters will take place at the Council’s discretion. Rate of Pay €16,852 - €20,251 per year. Attendance at Incidents An annual review will be undertaken in December each year to identify stations with low incident mobilisation. Where such levels fall below 75 hours in a calendar year, an adjustment payment will be made to each firefighter to provide for a minimum annual payment of 75 hours. This payment will be calculated on a pro rata basis for any new entrants in a calendar year. Attendance at Drills Drills take place on station three times a month at regular intervals (36 drills annually) and are of two and a half hours duration. There is an obligation on firefighters to attend 85 percent of drills annually. The retaining fee will not normally be paid to any member who has failed to attend at least 85 percent of drills during the quarter, the decision on which if appropriate is at the discretion of the Chief Fire Officer.

(a) In general, an individual who has no prior pensionable Public Service history in the 26 weeks prior to appointment will be a member of the Single Public Service Pension Scheme which commenced from 1 January 2013 (Section 10 of the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 refers). Under the Single Public Service Pension Scheme, retirement is compulsory on reaching 70 years of age. Minimum pension age is 66 years, but this will rise to 67 and 68 in line with State Pension age changes. (b) An individual who is on secondment will remain a member of the parent organisation’s pension scheme and the pensionable remuneration will be based on his or her substantive grade, that is the grade at which the individual is employed in the parent organisation. (c) An individual who was a member of a pre existing public service pension scheme as construed by the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 and who does not qualify for membership of the Single Scheme will be a member of the Road Safety Authority’s existing Staff Superannuation Scheme. (d) Appointee’s status for superannuation purposes At the time of being offered an appointment, the Road Safety Authority, in consultation with the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform if necessary, will, in the light of the appointee’s previous Public Service and or other employment history, determine the appropriate pension terms and conditions to apply for the duration of the appointment. Appointees will be required to disclose their full public service history. Details of the appropriate superannuation provisions will be provided upon determination of the appointee’s status. The following points should be noted: Pension Accrual A 40 year limit on total service that can be counted towards pension where a person has been a member of more than one existing public service pension scheme will apply. This 40 year limit, which is provided for in the Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012, came into effect on 28 July 2012. This may have implications for any appointee who has acquired pension rights in previous public service employment. Pension Abatement The Public Service Pensions (Single Scheme and Other Provisions) Act 2012 extended pension abatement so that a retiree’s public service pension is liable to abatement on re entering public service employment, even where the new employment is in a different area of the public service. However, if the appointee was previously employed in the Civil Service and awarded a pension under voluntary early retirement arrangements (other than the Incentivised Scheme of Early Retirement or the Health Service Executive Voluntary Early Retirement or Voluntary Redundancy Schemes which, as outlined below, render a person ineligible for the competition), the entitlement to payment of that pension will cease with effect from the date of reappointment. Special arrangements will, however, be made for the reckoning of previous service given by the appointee for the purpose of any future superannuation award for which the appointee may be eligible. Ill Health Retirement Please note that where an individual has retired from a Civil or Public Service body on the grounds of ill health, his or her pension from that employment may be subject to review in accordance with the rules of ill health retirement within the pension scheme of that employment. Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement It is a condition of the Incentivised Scheme for Early Retirement as set out in Department of Finance Circular 12 of 2009 that retirees under that scheme are debarred from applying for another position in the same employment or the same sector. Therefore, such retirees may not apply for this position. Department of Health and Children Circular 7 of 2010 The Department of Health Circular 7 of 2010 dated 1 November 2010 introduced a Targeted Voluntary Early Retirement Scheme and Voluntary Redundancy Schemes. It is a condition of the Voluntary Early Retirement scheme that persons availing of the scheme will not be eligible for re employment in the public health sector or in the wider public service or in a body wholly or mainly funded from public moneys. The same prohibition on re employment applies under the Voluntary Redundancy Scheme, except that the prohibition is for a period of 7 years, after which time any re employment will require the approval of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform. People who availed of either of these schemes are not eligible to compete in this competition. Eligibility to Compete Candidates must, by the date of any job offer, be: A citizen of the European Economic Area. The European Economic Area consists of the Member States of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. A citizen of the United Kingdom. A citizen of Switzerland pursuant to the agreement between the European Union and Switzerland on the free movement of persons. A non European Economic Area citizen who has a Stamp 4 permission or a Stamp 5 permission. Please note that a 50 TEU permission, which is a replacement for Stamp 4 EUFAM after Brexit, is acceptable as a Stamp 4 equivalent.
