Have you thought about being a wholetime firefighter with Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service? Come and find out about the role at one of our May practical taster sessions.

Our wholetime firefighter recruitment process is anticipated to start later this year (2024) or early 2025. We are offering anyone who wants to see if this could be the role for them the chance to try out at one of our forthcoming taster sessions.

We have organised taster events at our state-of-the-art training centre in Winsford for prospective applicants to try out the practical tests, speak to serving firefighters and learn more about the role and the application process:

Friday 24 May 2024

• 09:30 – 13:00
• 13:30 – 17:00

Saturday 25 May 2024

• 09:30 – 13:00
• 13:30 – 17:00

Dress code - Gym clothing (no shorts) and comfortable shoes is ideal.

As places are strictly limited we would ask you to register above. You will then receive an email containing further information such as where to meet and what to wear. Please note that anyone who wishes to attend one of the taster events must be 18 years of age or will be 18 by 1 September 2024. Also, those who have attended a taster session in the past need not apply to enable space for those who haven’t had a try.

In order to properly serve Cheshire’s communities it is important our workforce is diverse. We are looking to recruit a wide range of people for these roles and the taster sessions are open to all. We are particularly keen to hear from those in underrepresented groups who may not initially think firefighting is a career for them, including women, people from the diverse ethnic backgrounds and the LGBT+ community.
