JOINT POLICE AND FIRE RECRUITMENT EVENT

Looking for your first career?

Looking for a change of direction?

Want to maximise the skills and qualities you have?

The Positive Action Team invites you to this 'one stop career shop' with a free breakfast and cuppa.

At this drop in event we will provide you information in relation to the following:

The police officer

The detective constable

The firefighter

The many supporting functions across the services?

Police Officer Roles: We will have members of our team who are passionate about policing to explain more about the varied police officer activities, challenges of the role, and the various routes of entry into policing. We will ensure you have all the relevant information to help you make an informed decision about policing.

Firefighter roles: Firefighters do more than putting out fires. Come along and find out about this role and significance it plays in our communities. Local firefighters will be available to talk about both the on call and whole time firefighter roles with the Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service (NFRS).

Supporting Roles: The unseen heroes of policing and NFRS are the support staff roles that ensure the services can deliver their functions. The roles are varied and comprise those functions you see in any large organisation (such as HR; data analysis, finance and computing) and functions unique to the two services (such as fire safety; case building; victim support). Some of our support staff will be available to help you explore the diversity of roles and help you navigate the way through finding the right role for you.

Our recruitment team will also be on hand to answer any questions on entry requirements and the recruitment and selection process.

Bring your loved ones and friends: Blue light services are like no other - the support of family and friends is essential to support you through those difficult incidents and occurrences. We really encourage anyone interested to register and reserve a place for thier parents or a family members; loved one or friend - they are very much part of individual career journeys.

If you are interested in the NFRS or Northamptonshire Police the Blue Light Breakfast is the only event for you - and we hope to see you there.

Parking: There is free parking at the centre.
