Training & promotion
We recognise that many people simply want to be firefighters, but others do wish to develop their careers and move into other areas of our work / and or seek promotion. It is worth noting that our Chief Officer began his career at Strathclyde Fire and Rescue as a Firefighter and worked his way up. It is up to the individual to study and develop their skills in order to progress within the organisation, but we shall assist as much as we can every step of the way.
From the time you join until the moment you leave, education and training forms a highly significant part of virtually every working day. This training, along with direct ‘front line’ experience, will help you to develop and if you show the necessary drive, determination and enthusiasm, there are many senior level positions you can aspire to. In addition, it is also worth emphasising that many people move into other areas of our work as part of their career development and while this might not involve promotion as such, it does mean that there are more varied and stimulating opportunities available.
