Firefighters Wanted at Räddningstjänsten Väst

Do you want to contribute to our work in creating a safer society for everyone? We are now looking for firefighters for three different positions – permanent full-time, temporary, and summer positions for 2026.

About the Workplace

Räddningstjänsten Väst is a municipal association whose task is to work for accident prevention within the municipalities of Varberg and Falkenberg. Our mission is to be responsible for municipal fire services and preventive measures against accidents according to the Act on Protection Against Accidents (LSO).

We are a fire service that wants to be at the forefront! Professionalism and innovation are our guiding principles. We also strive to be a fire service for all and see that diversity and differences enrich us.

Our five rescue teams are staffed around the clock and work preventively and supportively to create conditions to avoid serious incidents as much as possible. But when they do occur, you and your team must be able to safely break the chain of events as quickly as possible and assist those affected.

Our goal is to reduce the number of accidents. We do this, among other things, through education, information, and supervision. If an accident does occur, the goal is to reduce response times through more smaller units spread across the association's operational area.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

You contribute to our work in providing protection against accidents in society. You work on preparations for interventions through training, exercises, and other professional development, as well as with preventive tasks and safety-enhancing measures for the community and citizens. This includes information, education, and outreach activities, both before and after an incident occurs. In addition, you will have an operational role in one of our rescue teams.

We Offer

With us, you will have a stimulating job where you can make an impact and make a difference. You will have the opportunity to develop alongside colleagues with a wide range of competencies. Engaged, service-oriented, and satisfied employees are, we believe, a prerequisite for succeeding in our missions. You will have good opportunities for training and wellness.

QUALIFICATIONS

We are looking for someone who is a trained firefighter through the Protection Against Accidents education. If you have also taken any of MSB's Management Courses or any of their training for supervision and other accident prevention activities or equivalent training, it is an advantage. You must meet the medical requirements for smoke and chemical diving. Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability. Care, knowledge, innovation, and flexibility are some of our guiding principles.

A driver's license is required, minimum category C.
