Fire Cadet Instructor – South Wales Fire & Rescue Service

Fire Cadets is South Wales Fire and Rescue Service’s flagship youth activity for individuals
aged 13 – 16 years of age. The programme offers young people a unique insight into
working within an emergency service. We offer fun and challenging inclusive opportunities for
young people and work to develop personal and social skills through activities which promote
self-discipline, teamwork and citizenship. The programme offers the opportunity to gain
awards and work towards achieving a recognised qualification.
SWFRS currently host 12 Fire Cadet units. As a Fire Cadet instructor, you will be required to
support and mentor young people in developing their skills, knowledge and personal
development to enable them to become effective role models in the community and progress
positively onto education, employment, or further training. Fire Cadet instructors support the
Fire Cadets through a range of learning styles, including paperwork linked to the qualification
and a range of basic firefighter drill ground activities. Throughout your time in this role, you
will be supported by a Unit Manager and the opportunity for relevant training and
qualifications.
As a Fire Cadet Instructor, there is the opportunity to work at various stations, on different
evenings. The programme runs in line with the school academic year with the added option
of participating in a range of outdoor activities, charitable events, camps, competitions and
social trips during school holidays and weekends.
