Age Each candidate must be at least 18 years of age on 1 st February, 2026. Retirement age for Retained Fire-fighters is 55 years of age (up to 62 years of age subject to conditions). Health Each candidate must be free from any defects which would render that person unsuitable to perform the duties of the post and be in a state of health such as would indicate a reasonable prospect of ability to render regular and efficient service. For the purpose of satisfying this requirement, it will be necessary to undergo at the candidate’s own expense an initial medical examination, by a qualified medical practitioner to be nominated by Cork County Council. Note the requirement to complete and pass the Chester Step Test detailed below. On taking up appointment, the expense of the medical examination will be refunded to the candidate. Retained Fire-fighters will be required to undergo regular and ad-hoc medical examinations at any time. Given the strenuous nature of fire-fighting duties the medical examination will be of a very thorough nature.

Fitness Test Part of the pre-employment medical examination includes completing the fitness test. Candidates successful at interview must successfully complete the fitness test prior to employment being offered. The fitness test at the recruit medical is the Chester Step Test. The Chester Step Test measures aerobic capacity and fitness and entails a moderately vigorous level of physical activity. The level of fitness needed to pass this test requires regular exercise and the test pass level is difficult to achieve if the candidate does not already have a good level of physical fitness prior to the test. Medical examiners advice is that fitness needed for this test does not come overnight; realistically it takes at least a few weeks and often longer to appreciably improve your fitness level. Candidates who fail the initial Chester Step Test will be offered one further fitness test only. This may be a Chester Step Test or a Shuttle Run test, as determined by Cork County Council. No further retests will be offered. Residence/Availability Only applicants from competent persons who reside and work within 2 miles of the fire station of the relevant unit and whose ordinary activity does not take them away from the town, in which a brigade is located, will be considered.

Relief School Warden
SECTION 1: THE ROLE Each local authority can arrange with An Garda Síochána for School Traffic Wardens to patrol places where school children cross public roads. The School Traffic Warden’s role is to ensure that primary-school children cross public roads safely on their way to and from school. The Gardaí and School Traffic Wardens are the only officials in Ireland who have the authority to stop other vehicles on public roads. The law governing the appointment of School Traffic Wardens is the Road Traffic Act, 1961 (Section 96). School Traffic Wardens usually work in the mornings, at lunchtime and in the evenings, when children are most likely to cross the road to go to or from school. School Traffic Wardens wear a distinctive uniform (a high-visibility coat and hat). They must also carry a distinctive sign (a white disc with a red border and the word ‘Stop’ in the centre). By displaying this sign, the School Traffic Warden has the power to stop the traffic to enable school children to cross the road in safety. Traffic must remain stopped as long as the warden displays the sign. SECTION 2: DUTIES The duties shall be such as may be assigned to the officer from time to time by the local authority. These duties may include: Reporting for duty promptly at the specified times and locations assigned under the direction of the Supervisor. The Warden must operate strictly in accordance with the instructions for School Wardens (as per Garda/Cork County Council training) at all times. The person employed will be required to perform assigned duties exercising a duty of care, in the interest of safety of oneself, fellow employees and the general public at all times in compliance with Cork County Council’s Health and Safety Management System. Working in a safe manner, in full compliance with the relevant safety legislation and construction regulations, will be the primary responsibility of all School Wardens. The School Warden will use the statutory uniform and equipment provided for the safety of yourself, children and all other members of the public, especially when stopping traffic on the public roadway. This requires carrying of the official Stop sign at all times and ensuring that the uniform is kept in a clean, neat condition. Maintain control over children who are awaiting your instructions to cross. If the Warden has any trouble in controlling, or encounters disobedience by the children, they should inform the Principal of the school concerned. Any disobedience by traffic in general should be reported forthwith to the Gardaí. The Warden should never break up organised convoys, weddings, funerals, parades, or hold up fire appliances or ambulances for the purpose of allowing children to cross, but wait for suitable opportunities when they have passed. Report any problems or difficulties to the Local Municipal District Roads and Engineering Offices. All accidents at the crossing point involving the Warden in the operation of his or her duties must be reported immediately after the duty period by telephone to the Local Municipal District Roads and Engineering Offices. All relevant details must be recorded including car make and model, registration number, name of drivers or pedestrians involved, time and date of accident. The names and addresses of any witnesses must also be recorded and a written report is to be submitted to the Local Municipal District Roads and Engineering Offices within the following three days. The Warden must not attempt to apportion blame to any person nor admit liability on his or her (or the Council’s) own part. In connection with the hours of duty, any changes made by the school to their class times which affect your duty periods must be notified to the Local Municipal District Roads and Engineering Offices. SECTION 3: ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA / QUALIFICATIONS1. Character Each candidate must be of good character. 2. Health Each candidate must be in a state of health such as would indicate a reasonable prospect of ability to render regular and efficient service.

Education and Experience Each candidate must have a good general education of a sufficient standard to enable that person to understand fully and carry out the duties of the post.

Comply with safety policy and directives in force from time to time and must wear the uniform and carry the sign at all times while on duty. C. Ensure compliance with organisational policies, procedures and legislation. D. Co-operate with the familiarisation and instruction of other employees where appropriate. E. Manage and maintain resources effectively and efficiently. 4. Age Age restrictions shall only apply to a candidate where he or she is not classified as a new entrant within the meaning of the Public Services Superannuation Act, 2004. A candidate who is not classified as a new entrant must be under 70 years of age. SECTION 4: TENURE The employment is for the duration of the school year. The employment is part-time and pensionable. A panel may be formed to fill these positions. Sick leave does not apply to this part-time employment. However, depending on the number of hours worked, a Warden may be entitled to claim Disability Benefit from the Department of Social Welfare. The local authority shall require the person to whom an appointment is offered to take up such appointment within a period of not more than one month. If they fail to take up the appointment within such period, or such longer period as the local authority in its absolute discretion may determine, the local authority shall not appoint them. SECTION 5: SALARY The wage for the post is €19.21 basic per hour. Payment will not be made in respect of normal school holiday periods, i.e. summer, Christmas or Easter. The wage shall be fully inclusive and shall be as determined from time to time.

The contract may be terminated at any time subject to normal legal requirements. SECTION 6: LOCATION OF POST The positions will be at any of the Primary Schools in the Municipal Roads and Engineering Districts where a School Warden operates.
