Wholetime Firefighter – North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service

Do you want a career where you make a real difference to people’s lives? We are currently recruiting for Wholetime Firefighters!

We are looking for people who can think on their feet, communicate their ideas, and take the lead in putting those ideas into action. People who are caring and compassionate and who want to make a real difference to people. You’ll need to remain calm in a crisis, work well in a team and be able to adapt to changing situations.

No two days are the same, one day you may be called out to an incident, and the next visiting schools and inspiring the next generation. Being a firefighter is so much more than fighting fires and you will play a huge role in educating the local community on fire safety and prevention methods.

Our Wholetime Firefighters are passionate and committed to preventing incidents and protecting people, and we are looking for more individuals to join us in our mission in helping our communities be safe and feel safe.

We’ll give you the training; the trust and the personal development to expand your career within the Service. Starting a career in the Fire service can be one of the best things you’ll ever do, and with it brings job satisfaction in knowing you are making a real difference in your community, improving fire safety, and ultimately saving lives.

Become a firefighter with North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, help to keep North Yorkshire safe and be part of a team that really makes a difference.
