WE ARE RECRUITING NOW
ERT SAR is a great organisation and helps people locally and all over the world. We are looking for volunteers.

We are especially interested in hearing from fit adults (18 to 70) who can wear a uniform smartly for our national and international team especially and those with military and emergency service backgrounds and / or if you  are
  • Medical Professionals
  • Water Rescue Qualified
  • Tech Rescue / USAR trained

There are some basic foundation truths. We want to encourage new members and applicants but what we do is not for everyone. You should have a sincere interest in helping others and have a tolerant disposition. Please check any heavy biases or prejudices. ERT SAR operators are fit and active. C & D Squad are usually fitness tested twice a year.  Unfortunately, if you are a heavy drinker or a smoker - then this is probably not for you. You can have tattoos but they must not be obscene or offensive or on your face. Members often deal with vulnerable people and must be of good moral character without criminal activities and unspent criminal convictions and will be expected to attend regular annual sessions with good uniform standards.  

So first please read and  
  • DO NOT complete this if you cannot attend annual sessions a year (Number depending on Squad)
