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 1st September 2026. Retirement age for Retained Firefighters 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 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 Firefighters will be required to undergo regular and ad-hoc medical examinations at any time. Given the strenuous nature of firefighting duties, the medical examination will be of a very thorough nature. Please note that the following disabilities will render an applicant unsuitable for firefighting duties and will lead to disqualification at the examination: History of epilepsy Alcohol or drug dependency Obesity Chronic bronchitis, 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 Firefighters 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 examiners advise that the 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 / Availability Only applications 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.

Unemployed persons are not precluded from applying, provided that they satisfy the residence and availability requirements.

After the employment has been confirmed, it will be terminable at any stage on the giving of the required notice by either side under the Minimum Notice and Terms of Employment Act 1973, or without notice in circumstances justifying immediate dismissal. Please note that due to the requirement for firefighters to wear breathing apparatus, all facial hair below the line of the upper lip must be removed, i.e. beards, etc. Retained Firefighters must be prepared to attend other courses which may be held in Ireland or the UK.

Across the 24 weeks where a Retained Firefighter is rostered off, they can, if they so wish, attend incidents. In the event of occasional unavoidable absence of one rostered member for part of his/her week, it is the responsibility of the rostered member to arrange cover for the period of his/her absence with an available off-duty member. This agreement has to be notified to and agreed 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 proximity to the Fire Station that will allow him/her to respond within the turnout time set by the Chief Fire Officer. The current requirement is a target timeframe of five minutes for the first appliance to leave the station. It is necessary that he/she be released from his/her normal employment on occasions when 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 time greater 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. The Council may, at its discretion, prior to employing any qualified candidate, seek appropriate evidence as to the availability of such person to fulfil the duties of this position. 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% 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. The payment for annual leave will be made when employees take annual leave as part of the fortnightly pay cycle. Members of brigades shall be subject to such rules and regulations as may be issued from time to time. It should be particularly noted that Retained Firefighters must, in the matter of drills, attendance at fires, or in other emergencies, comply strictly with the orders and discretion of the Station Officer or, in his absence, such other brigade member as may be in charge. Any Retained Firefighter guilty of infringement of this regulation will be dismissed. Generally, members of all brigades will be under the general control and supervision of the Chief Fire Officer, Senior Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Senior Executive Fire Officer, Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Assistant Fire Officer, or other appropriate officer as the case may be. While on duty, Retained Firefighters shall use the clothing and personal equipment provided by the Council, and same shall be left in the station immediately after the cessation of duty. Retained Firefighters may not use such clothing and equipment save while on duty. Retained Firefighters must comply fully with safety policy and directives in force from time to time.

Learn more at https://www.avaya.com Job Description We're building Avaya Infinity, a cloud-native real-time communication platform powering digital contact centers at scale. The frontend surfaces agent-facing real-time UIs, admin and configuration interfaces, a shared design-system library, and client SDKs — all serving customers who depend on these tools for every live interaction with their own users. Reliability is the #1 feature of this product. When our platform goes down, our customers can't talk to theirs. As a Senior Front End Engineer, you'll own features end-to-end: from architecture and implementation through testing, deployment, and production reliability. You'll shape technical direction, mentor engineers on the team, and work closely with product and design to ship software that is rock-solid, low-latency, and performant at scale while meeting strict accessibility standards. This is a hands-on senior IC role with leadership expectations — not a manager track. What You'll Do - Design and build performant, accessible SPAs for real-time contact center workflows (agent desktops, supervisor dashboards, configuration tools) where latency and throughput directly impact customer experience - Contribute to and maintain a shared component library / design system used across product teams - Write well-tested, production-grade TypeScript — both in React on the frontend and Node.js microservices where needed - Build for reliability first: design features that degrade gracefully, handle network instability, and perform consistently under load - Own production readiness: structured logging, metrics, alerting, and incident response for the services you ship - Profile, measure, and optimize rendering performance, memory usage, and network efficiency in data-intensive real-time UIs - Participate in architecture decisions and advocate for sustainable, well-documented patterns - Document feature designs, technical decisions, and production troubleshooting playbooks so the team can operate and evolve systems without single points of knowledge - Mentor other engineers through code review, pairing, and technical guidance - Integrate AI-assisted development tools thoughtfully — using them to accelerate delivery while applying engineering judgment to the output Our Current Stack React 18/19, TypeScript, Redux Toolkit / RTK Query, Vite, React Router, Mantine, CSS Modules, Vitest, Playwright, Node.js / Express / Prisma, Kafka, Redis, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, Argo CD, Azure.
