Discover a Career as a Firefighter – Session 1

Session 1 –  About the role

Want to learn more about becoming a Firefighter?

If so, Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS) is running a series of open sessions to help you decide if it’s the career for you.

With our recruitment window set to open soon, this is an ideal opportunity to come along to find out more about the role, the application process and what life at a fire station is like.

If you don’t know much about the fire and rescue service at the moment – don’t worry! These sessions have been designed to give anyone a flavour of the role – whether you’ve thought about it before or not.

All sessions are free to attend, but please note that they may be subject to change based on operational requirements.

We are offering four sessions, which will be held both online and at our fire stations across Berkshire. You are welcome to attend the session that is most convenient for you.  We would encourage you to attend one session from each to give you a thorough overview of the role and what the recruitment process involves. However, it is not mandatory to attend all sessions.

Session 1 will run online between 16-20 November. Whilst there is no typical day in this job, this session will provide you with an overview of the role of a modern Firefighter and what training is provided to successful applicants.
