A wholetime firefighter is employed full time within the Service and will work a shift system at one of the wholetime Stations, of which there are eight within Herefordshire and Worcestershire.

An on-call firefighter (retained duty) is employed on a part-time basis, responding to fire calls within their area. All 25 fire stations within Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service deploy firefighters on the retained duty system and 19 stations are crewed solely by these staff.
