Vacant job

The South-Eastern Scania Fire Rescue Authority (SÖRF) was established in 2000 and includes the municipalities of Simrishamn, Sjöbo, Tomelilla, and Ystad. The authority employs approximately 170 people, of whom 45 are full-time employees. Operations are run from one full-time station and six part-time stations.

The Authority

At SÖRF, there are excellent opportunities to work broadly and contribute to development to meet future challenges together. We have an organization where all employees can participate in various ways to drive operations forward, with close collaboration between our professional groups. The organization adapts to the future by creating and maintaining a flat structure where responsibilities and tasks are distributed based on operational needs and individual interests. SÖRF envisions a firefighter who can and wants to work with many different tasks and vary these throughout their career.

The Positions

SÖRF needs to strengthen staffing in Ystad with a full-time firefighter position. We also need to cover a maternity leave, so we are additionally seeking a one-year temporary replacement.

The full-time firefighter position currently involves five rotating shifts with split days and night shifts on weekends. The role primarily consists of 80% operational duty and 20% administrative/operational time. This results in a weekly hour count of 42 hours/week, with duty covering all hours of the day, in accordance with Appendix R.

Since a firefighter at SÖRF works within a broad spectrum of tasks, we welcome applicants with experience in education, project work, and other relevant competencies within the basic operational area of fire rescue services.

We value the individual and strive to create a good social work environment, which is why personal qualities are important to us.
