Vacant job

Are you interested in working as a trainer for our external customers at Nerikes Brandkår?

We are strengthening our team and are now looking for additional trainers for our Training Unit.

The unit is responsible for training individuals from public services, companies, and associations in fire safety, CPR, first aid, and how to act in case of an accident. Many of our training programs are conducted in collaboration with the Fire Protection Association of Örebro County. Currently, the unit trains over 10,000 people annually.

The Municipal Association Nerikes Brandkår is one of Sweden's larger fire services with nine member municipalities, 28 fire stations, and approximately 500 employees. Our ambition is to operate a fire service that is at the forefront – both operationally and in accident prevention. Within our operational area, we cover a wide range: universities, heavy chemical industry, large warehouses, mining, water facilities, university hospitals, airports, and much more.

We are in an exciting phase of expansion and development. The operational collaboration Rescue Region Bergslagen started in 2020, and in November 2023, the joint control center Seglet was completed, where we collaborate with the Police and SOS Alarm. In the spring of 2026, another fire station will be completed and inaugurated in Örebro.
