Hampshire and Isle Of Wight Fire and Rescue Service

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service aims to make life safer – and to provide the best possible service to the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight that we can. To achieve that we will recruit the very best people to work for us in every role, both operational and non-operational.

We will employ people who are diverse in their thinking. Different backgrounds, experiences, life skills and approaches will expand our thinking and operations, and enable us to more flexibly design, plan and deliver our service.

Our aspiration is for our workforce to be more reflective of the diverse individuals and groups within the wider community we serve.

We are passionate in our belief that a diverse workforce will enable us to deliver a better service and make Hampshire and the Isle of Wight even safer.
