Fire and Emergency New Zealand has three emergency Communications Centres based in Christchurch (Southern), Wellington (Central), and Auckland (Northern). The primary role of the Centres is to act as the first point of contact for the public with Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

We want to hear from you if you seek permanent full-time employment with career growth and advancement potential.
The training salary is $60,512.12, increasing to $72,614.54 upon successfully completing training and assessment (usually within 12 months).

The first week of training will be held at the Fire and Emergency New Zealand National Training Centre in Rotorua, followed by three weeks training at the Northern Communications Centre in Auckland.

Have a high degree of situational awareness while managing multiple competing priorities
Work a variety of rostered shifts, including days, nights, weekends and public holidays.
Dispatchers operate in a 24/7 Emergency Service environment. Working in a small, close-knit team, your primary responsibility will be receiving emergency 111 and non-emergency calls and dispatching appropriate Fire and Emergency responses. You will have daily contact with a wide range of people, including members of the public, firefighters, other emergency services and government agencies. We seek Dispatchers to join our Communication Centres in Wellington, Auckland and Christchurch. These are full-time permanent positions and include the opportunity for paid overtime after initial training and assessment.
