All applicants must:

• Reside in Hertfordshire or in a directly adjoining postcode area as listed on the Postcode Eligibility Page
• Be 18 years old or over at the time you start the training course

We have strong values and RISE to the challenge of improving Residents lives, working with Integrity, acting Sustainably and championing Equality and fairness. We aim to recruit a workforce which represents the communities we serve by giving equal opportunities to all.

Appointments will always be made on the merit of the application and performance in the selection process - however, we are particularly encouraging applications from females and those from Minority Ethnic backgrounds who are currently under-represented within Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service.
