West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service is a high-performing organisation dedicated to serving the 2.2m people in our county's diverse communities.

Our highly committed employees do more than just put out fires: they protect West Yorkshire's citizens, their homes, schools, hospitals and businesses. They rescue people and animals, provide vital support at road traffic accidents, deal with hazardous materials and floods and carry out salvage operations. Our specialists use their expertise in range of emergency situations within West Yorkshire, the UK or abroad. They also work closely with Partners and members of West Yorkshire communities to prevent fires and accidents from starting. This includes carrying out fire safety checks and fire safety inspections, visiting homes, schools, community groups, voluntary organisations and businesses throughout West Yorkshire.

Away from the front line we employ professionals in vital support roles. They ensure we meet the needs of vulnerable, at risk members of society, and that we operate effectively and deliver value for money. Their areas of expertise include: finance, procurement, property management, HR, legal services, transport, occupational health and safety, information and communications technology, and administration services.

We aim to provide a rewarding career with a range of benefits, including: flexible working, career break and flexible retirement policies, pension scheme, training and personal development opportunities, childcare vouchers, sports and social club, free-of-charge access to the gym at Fire Services Headquarters, free-of-charge parking at WYFRS premises, and occupational health support (including nurses, medical checks and counselling).

We look for dedicated people who reflect the communities we serve and share our core values
