Thanks, it seems that Malta has a volunteer paramedic but does it have volunteer firefighter or are they all full-time jobs?

Hi ,

try the 'Emergency Fire & Rescue Unit', a non-profit making voluntary organization. It is probably what you are looking for.

They have a website: http://www.efru.org/

Hi Chloe, welcome to the forum.


Fire fighter jobs in Malta fall under the Ministry of Home Affairs.

I suspect that salaries are OK, possibly boosted up by shift allowance. Holidays are at least the minimum as set by Maltese employment law.


I noticed from your profile you are English. First preference for employment would be given to Maltese/EU nationals, and the ability to have strong Maltese language skills would be ideal, if not essential for this type of role. 


Good luck.
