Vacancies being notified outside of Fire District Sample Clauses

Vacancies being notified outside of Fire District. Once it is determined that a position is to be filled, either at the completion of any intra-district transfers or in a single station district, the following procedure will be adhered to: (i) The position will normally be notified to all employees as a vacancy and either- a) seek existing suitably qualified personnel to apply, or b) indicate it has been tagged as a “Trainee Firefighter vacancy”. (Where this is the case applications will not be sought to the notice but will be sought through the usual national recruitment campaigns.) (ii) The normal process for notification will be the Fire Service Gazette. The vacancy notice will indicate the District into which the appointment will be made and the Station where the vacancy presently exists. A vacancy will normally be notified within one month of it being determined that it is to be filled. (iii) Existing Firefighters applying for transfer may make application on the prescribed form entitled “Firefighter Application for Transfer” (attached as an appendix). In exceptional cases where the Area or Assistant Area Manager requires additional material in order to fully consider the application this must also be provided. Those applying for Officer vacancies, whether through promotion or transfer must make application in the manner set out in the Gazette Notice. (iv) Where a Firefighter vacancy is notified as one seeking existing personnel to apply [section 2(i)(a)] and no applications are received the Area Manager may either hold a position vacant, or determine that the vacancy should be tagged as a “Trainee Firefighter vacancy”. (v) A vacancy tagged as a “Trainee Firefighter vacancy”, will be filled from the applicants who have been assessed as suitable for appointment through the national recruitment campaign. Placement will be at the discretion of the Fire Service based on regional preferences indicated by the applicant. On commencement of a Phase 1 course the Trainee will be advised of their intended station.
