What is different this time?
Previously, interested individuals submitted an application form when the recruitment window opened. However, this time, applicants are required to attend an in-person Recruitment Awareness Day event to receive a link for the application form. At these events you’ll find out more about what our firefighters do, the application process and try for yourself parts of the physical tests.
There will be further information on the development programme our trainee firefighters complete before they can progress to Crew Manager and beyond. As well as the other benefits of working for us, such as our policies that support you at key times in your life, access to The Fire Fighters Charity and other resources such as our Employee Assistance Programme and Sports and Welfare.
You must attend a Recruitment Awareness Day event if you want to apply and only need to attend one event. Complete our registration form for a Recruitment Awareness Days can be found below.
Recruitment Awareness Days
