Two Rocks State Emergency Service

Two Rocks State Emergency Service logo

**Opportunity: **Several opportunities have arisen to join the Two Rocks SES unit as an active multi-skilled member in the 590kmsq area we call home. We are a multi-skilled unit that travel across the state for chainsaw, triple Storey house roof work, tropical land searches, beach rescue, cave rescue, storm and cyclone water repair, bushfire mitigation and support, community engagement and education, state-wide level 3 radio communications and more.

Commitment Training is every Tuesday at 19:00. We are all volunteers and have other work and family responsibilities, but we do what we can when we can. We receive callouts 24/7/365 and understand if you can't attend every one.

Training: All training and uniform will be provided to every member during the probationary period. Extra uniform will be given depending on the courses you have passed and your level of skill.

Responsibility: As a valued member of the community helping those who require assistance you will need to be able to climb ladders, install and use Roof Safety Systems to gain access to 3 storey houses, work in confined spaces, perform land searches at night in extremely thick bushland, provide radio support in our ComCen during emergencies, drive vehicles under conditions, support during bushfire season, assist other units or brigades during natural hazards, assist in the physical and mental first aid of missing persons, build systems to allow volunteers safe access to houses, use pumps, hoses, power tools, ropes, and more during call outs.

**Family: **Every single member in our unit has a story to share about something they have witnessed during our callouts. We support each other through the tough times and celebrate the happier times.
