To date the applicants have included two GMP Police Officers, a Nurse, a Sound Engineer, a HGV Driver, an IT business owner, a Gardener / Tree Surgeon, two Medical Doctors, a Company Director, an Engineer, an Electrical Apprentice, and a Customer Consultant,

Please note that potential applicants need to be aware of the obvious requirement to live and work near to or within our primary operational team area, to be able to respond in a timely manner to call outs and also to be a reasonable travel (distance) time for training and other team activities.

If applications are received from persons who live nearer to another MRT Base / HQ or area, we will generally redirect their interest to their nearest mountain rescue team.
