The aim of the revised Voluntary Transfer Policy for Personnel in the role of Wholetime Firefighter/Firefighter (Control) Version 3.0 is to provide a mechanism for which eligible staff can apply for a substantive transfer of station/watch on a voluntary basis.  The opportunity to apply for a substantive voluntary transfer shall be advertised by Establishment Instruction on an annual basis.

 

We are keen to obtain the views of our stakeholders in relation to this revised policy.  Also, as part of our statutory equality obligations under Section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998, we are particularly interested in identifying equality impacts arising from this revised policy.
