The Sunbury Unit of the State Emergency Service (SES) is calling on locals to step up and join a team that keeps the community safe, not just on the front line, but behind the scenes.
The unit is recruiting administration and operational support volunteers, with an information night being held at 7pm, Wednesday, 19 November at the Sunbury SES headquarters on McDougall Rd.
“Our administration team isn’t behind the scenes, it’s at the heart of everything we do,” said Kevin Muslayah, deputy controller – administration.
“From operations coordination and logistics to technology, media, training and community engagement these roles are essential,” said Muslayah. “Without the people who plan, track, communicate and support, we couldn’t get our crews out the door or deliver the services our community relies on.”
Volunteers in these roles help with a broad range of activities, including emergency management coordination, finance and fundraising, logistics and transport, training administration, and media and communications.
All training and support are provided, and roles are open to people of all ages, occupations and backgrounds.
