We are thrilled to introduce some of our amazing new volunteers, all of whom have now started their induction course at the Northshore SES unit and are now only a couple of weeks away from joining our callout crews.
These passionate individuals have made the decision that they are ready to make a difference in our local community.
Local Manager Northshore SES Nick Elliott said “We honestly couldn’t be more excited to have these new members on board. With the winter storm season only a couple of months away, the timing is perfect, and we are very excited to see the impact that they’ll have as we work together for a brighter future in our local community”.
Nick added that getting to wear the infamous SES orange overalls at the Mount Hawthorn unit was no mean feat. “We set some pretty high standards in relation to new members, and the assessment process begins as soon as the potential volunteer makes contact with us. For these new recruits to even make it this far is testament to their efforts and determination over the last couple of months”.
The Northshore SES unit typically holds one intake per year, and for a variety of reasons caps membership numbers at approximately 60. All potential new members are required to make contact via the Northshore SES website, after which they are placed on the waitlist.
The Northshore SES unit covers 9 local government areas, being the Cities of Perth, Vincent, Subiaco and Nedlands, the Towns of Cambridge, Claremont, Cottesloe and Mosman Park, and the Shire of Peppermint Grove.
