As an example, this stage will usually assess your verbal and written communication skills. It can include a written element as well as a presentation, which will allow us to assess your ability to stand in front of people and confidently present your information. This is something that our firefighters are required to do regularly when working with the local communities.
You will also be required to take part in an interview with a panel of two members of staff. This will focus on past experiences, your skills and personal attributes which will determine your suitability for the role of a firefighter.
Candidates invited to this stage will be provided with more information and guidance nearer the time.
