Help Us
|
There are so many ways people can help and NOW is a great time because we are actively recruiting .
First question is do you want to help in an operational uniformed emergency response capacity? Or can you help in a supporting administrative or fundraing capacity? Both are equally invaluable and needed! Of our many capacities, the following 7 areas we are currently focused on for 2021. Please do get in touch and help us! So whether it's fundraising, donating needed items, donating money, volunteering non-operationally, volunteering operationally on the front lines or helping in other ways - we need your help! Or maybe you you want to run a Marathon for us or have a bake sale?! Please do GET IN TOUCH! :-) [EMAIL: HQ at ERT SAR) |

OPERATIONAL MEMBERS
All 7 Operational Areas provide response to the front line in a uniformed capacity. All 7 start the same, by completing a brief onboarding and then the OTC 1 pipeline before specialising in the area they are operationally focusing. Members can be a part of more than one area. For example we have Technical Rescue specialists who are professional medics and on the Marine Unit.
OTC1: Generalists
This would allow you to operationally support most local and national 'standard' functions like community based resilience, safety and protection functions and well as enter parts of some of the others. e.g. • Most Community Support Roles • Basic Public Events • BoO Support Roles • Basic Search for GSAR • “In training” Specialists, etc.
OTC2: Specialists
Specialists would complete the OTC 2 pipeline and then their area of specialisation. They may also have external qualifications which they bring when they join. For example if you are in logistics and transport you would be able to drive various vehicles. If you are in the medical section you would either be a professional medic with a protected title (Doctor, Nurse or Paramedic) or an EMT type specialist with appropriate pre-hospital emergency care and a desire to work in the medical section.

SUPPORTERs & FUNDRAISERS
These are not uniformed positions and do not require any official membership (operational or non-operational.)
For example people have run marathons for ERT SAR, raised money through bake sales, completed car rallies and much more over the years and all of these help us to do the special work we do. We do not have any paid administration and all monies go toward the needy, suffering and to support the work that we do. Your support is invaluable to our efforts!
