Positive Action Events for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic People

Dare to be different-Break the stereotype-Become a firefighter!

Black, Asian and minority ethnic people are currently under-represented in the Fire Service and we'd like to change that!

We recognise that we're missing out on a pool of talented and skilled people who have an important contribution to make.

We hold Careers Open Days to encourage people from these sections of the community to consider a career in the Fire Service.

These events include:

• An introduction to the Fire Service and an overview of the role of a firefighter
• An overview of the selection process
• Application form workshops covering: understanding what the questions mean, how to answer questions using examples from your own experience, practice in completing mock questions
• An opportunity to have a go at physical tests similar to those used in the selection process
• An opportunity to have a go at the psychometric tests similar to those used in the selection process

The events take place at our Training Centre in Stevenage.

The workshops will cover: understanding what the questions mean; how to answer questions using examples from your own experience; practice in completing mock questions. They will take place at local fire stations or at the Training Centre in Stevenage.
