Recruitment process (Control)

The recruitment procedure has several different stages to its process. We need the best and most committed people to join our team. Every day at work you are required to give 100 percent. If you are one of the successful applicants to make it through the process you will be rewarded with a competitive salary, fantastic career opportunities, and the chance to work as part of a highly skilled Service, whilst achieving further qualifications and personal goals.

Stage 1 – Complete online application form.

Stage 2 –  Complete online assessments.

Stage 3 – Practical Testing.  On successful completion of all prior elements of the recruitment process, applicants will be invited to attend an in-person assessment day at the DWFRS Support offices in Potterne. The assessment day should take between one and two hours to complete, subject to the number of applicants and proceedings on the day. The assessment day will be split into three assessments. Details of the assessments can be found here.
