OPERATIONAL MEMBERS We are looking for men and women to volunteer as an Operational member and help support our work in the United Kingdom as well as in Canada. We do some great things, you learn lots, meet interesting people and get to help lots of people.

* TIME COMMITMENT
One day a month is the minimum average for a new member. Some mores may average less and if you are on deployment or doing events, then it will be a few days more. Expect no less that 5 times a year when trained and many give 24 times a year or more (especially if you join the International Team!)
So as you progress and at some operationally busy times we would hope that you can give more time, especially in the Summer during our busier events.

** EXCLUDING FACTORS

But we all know that sometimes self reflection means that you may be great, we may be great, but it won't be a great fit. So what are excluding factors? Example Exclusionary factors may be

OTC1: Generalists
So, when you first apply to join ERT SAR you would usually be joining as a "Generalist."
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. WE NEED YOU NOW!
• Most Community Support Roles • Basic Public Events • BoO (Base of Operations) Support Roles • National Capacity Roles • Basic Search for GSAR (Ground Search and Rescue) • “In training” Specialists, etc. • Team Capacity Building Functions
OTC2: Specialists
You start 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.
Once you have joined. if interested, we can streamline your progression into the "Specialist" roles if desired.
You would usually have external qualifications which you bring when you join. As a "Specialists" would complete the OTC 2 pipeline and then your area of specialisation. (Sometimes this is very quick, for example if you are a professional medic, you would show your registration and do a short review of our SOPs, IPAC requirements and PHEC guidelines etc.)
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!
