Volunteers – United Kingdom Rescue Organisation (UKRO)

United Kingdom Rescue Organisation (UKRO) are looking to recruit volunteers to the Charity. Applicants must be from the emergency sector or associated organisations.

The role is on a voluntary basis.   Applicants must have the support of their Chief Fire Officer or their Chief Executive and be supported financially and with time by their employer to undertake the role.

For over 30 years, the UKRO has, and continues to be, at the forefront of development and innovation in the field of professional rescue, ensuring that rescue and trauma professionals both in the UK and internationally, are able to adapt and respond to existing and emerging risks. During this time, the UKRO has acquired a wealth of knowledge and expertise.

The UKRO is formed and run by practitioners predominantly from within the Fire and Rescue and Medical sectors with a passion for advancing professional rescue. Both serving and recently retired rescue and trauma professionals, the dedicated UKRO team of volunteers come from across the UK, amassing their knowledge, skills and experience.

Supported by the UKRO Board of Trustees, the UKRO ensures that it remains at the cutting edge of rescue developments and that its services and products are as applicable to managing organisational risks, as they are to rescue and trauma professionals putting them into practice at an incident scene.

Positive Action Statement

Based on its current volunteer profile UKRO has identified that there is under-representation of individuals of Black, Asian and ethnic minority (BAME) backgrounds and of women across the charity as a whole and particularly in leadership roles including trustees.  Applications from these groups for this role are particularly welcome.

The closing date for registering an interest is 31^st July 2024.
