Our most recent wholetime firefighter recruitment process concluded in March 2025, and our first cohort of successful recruits began in May 2025. We are not currently running a wholetime firefighter recruitment process; however, if you are interested in joining our Service in the future, please continue to check this website and follow our social media channels for updates on any upcoming recruitment plans.
This is an example of what a future process might look like. More detailed information regarding the 2024/25 process can be found here: Recruitment process.
There’s a huge amount of helpful information amongst these pages to support you with preparing for and going through our recruitment process to become a wholetime firefighter. You might also find it helpful to work through our six recruitment guides.
