Our full time firefighter recruitment window is opening on Thursday 29 August and we are looking to recruit people who reflect and identify with all our communities across Cheshire.

We are looking to recruit a new cohort of full time firefighters who will begin their training at the end of March 2025.

Changing lives, saving lives, every day is different

If you’re passionate about changing lives and want to contribute to saving lives by reducing the risk of incidents, then being a firefighter is definitely the role for you.

The Service doesn't just fight fires and rescue people. In fact, only around five per cent of a firefighter’s time is spent attending incidents. They are actively involved in their communities, carrying out prevention work to reduce the chance of fires happening in the first place, delivering road safety campaigns to reduce the number of road traffic collisions and working closely with young people through programmes such as The Prince’s Trust Team, Fire Cadets and Respect courses.

As a firefighter, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference within your community, working as part of a team and enjoying a varied career. Other benefits include working in an environment where the health, safety and wellbeing of staff are key priorities, coupled with generous family friendly policies, a range of staff networks, buddying scheme and opportunities to apply for flexible working arrangements.
