Our Commitment
Mid And West Wales Fire and Rescue Service have a strong commitment to equality and diversity both in our people within the organisation and in our services that we provide to our communities. We want to reflect the communities we serve and one way we can try to achieve this is through a policy of ‘positive action’. Positive action is activity which helps employers identify and remove the barriers and issues to the employment, retention and progression of people from ‘under-represented’ groups, whilst still employing people on merit. Positive action is not about giving some people more favourable treatment; it is about “levelling the playing field”.
Family Friendly
Flexible working hours
Third party discounts
Excellent annual leave
Our Opportunities
The most effective service is one that can help anyone, whatever their age, gender, ethnicity, level of ability, sexual orientation, gender identity, faith, relationship or parental status. The more diverse our staff and firefighters the easier it is for us to connect with and understand the needs of all the people we serve.
