Donegal Mountain Rescue Team are a 24 hour a day, 365 days a year voluntary emergency response team providing emergency search and rescue response in extreme terrain and mountain conditions throughout the entire county.

Due to the significant increase in the number of callouts experienced in the last two years the team are now seeking to recruit enthusiastic individuals interested in working as part of the team to achieve high standards of casualty care in the Donegal mountains.

We are seeking people with a strong interest in mountaineering activities , a high level of commitment , be reasonably fit and possess hill walking / climbing experience , some navigation and hill skills as well as a commitment to participating in regular team training and callouts.

Recruitment to the emergency response team is open to people over 18 years of age living within one hour of the county’s mountainous areas.

It takes approx 1-2 years to progress from being a probationary member to qualifying as a full operational member. The Donegal Mountain Rescue training programme covers four core areas namely, mountain operations, search and rescue operations, casualty care, and operations co-ordination.

We would also be interested in hearing from members of the public that may be interested in assisting us with the various other duties involved in running a voluntary mountain emergency response team including organising fundraising days and events, general administration , vehicle maintenance etc.
