Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is inviting applications for Wholetime Firefighters through our Apprenticeship Programme. An exciting opportunity to begin a challenging, fulfilling and rewarding career serving your community. Being a Firefighter is about much more than responding to emergencies. Every day brings new challenges and opportunities, from attending incidents and protecting people in times of need, to delivering fire safety advice, supporting vulnerable residents, and engaging with local communities through educational events, campaigns and outreach activities.

There is no such thing as a 'typical' firefighter. We are committed to building a workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and walks of life. We are all united by a shared commitment to making Berkshire safer. We believe that talent, potential and determination can come from anywhere. Whether you are starting your career, returning to work after a break, or looking for a completely new direction later in life, we encourage you to consider a future with us.

The apprenticeship route is open to those who are new to the firefighter role and ready to develop the skills, knowledge and confidence needed to succeed. Appointing the right people is vital to helping us achieve our vision for the future. We assess all applicants against the same standards, and all recruitment decisions are made fairly and based on merit.
