Firefighter Have A Go Day

We are recruiting Firefighters across the Service.

Prior to applications opening, we are holding several 'Have a Go' taster days. These will be taking place over the coming weeks to give people an insight into what the role of a Firefighter entails, as well as the required strength, fitness and aptitude levels. It will also give you the chance to find out more information on how rewarding a career in the fire and rescue service is, and what paths of progression there are.

The event is free, and there is no obligation to apply to be a Firefighter if you attend, but we'd love it if you do! Equally, you do not have to attend a 'Have a Go' day to be eligible to apply; it simply gives you an understanding of the job-related tests you will need to successfully complete upon application, and allows you to ask any questions you may have.

Please note: You MUST be at least 18 years of age at the start of the initial training course. There is no upper age limit.

Please wear comfortable clothing and bring a pair of thick socks with you to make sure your boots are as comfortable as possible. All other equipment and clothing will be provided.

You will only need to attend one session throughout the day and this should last no more than 2hrs, so please only book one session time that suits you. During the 'Have a Go' session you’ll be expected to carry out several physical activities in full fire kit. Please ensure you bring a water bottle and trainers with you.

Please arrive 10 minutes before your session start time to allow for registration and fitting of the kit for the job-related tests.

Due to the limited number of spaces and the popularity of these sessions, please only book one place. If you cannot make your session, please cancel your order by going to www.eventbrite.co.uk - this will allow someone else to take your place.

Please note there is no parking at the Fire Station.

You must have a Leicestershire postcode to be able to apply to be a Firefighter.
