Job title:

Capita Fire and Rescue Firefighter - MOD Donnington

Job Description:

Why this role could be for you

There’s no single route into firefighting, and no one “type” of person who succeeds. We welcome applications from people with different experiences, perspectives and career paths.

You don’t need a traditional firefighting background. What matters most is your mindset, your resilience, your ability to work with others, and your commitment to keeping people safe.

Whether you’re returning to the workplace, changing direction, or looking for a career with more meaning, we’ll give you the training and support to build your confidence and develop the skills you need.

What you’ll be doing and where you’ll make an impact

As a Firefighter with Capita Fire and Rescue, you’ll play a vital role supporting the UK Ministry of Defence, helping to keep military bases, personnel and critical operations safe.

This isn’t a typical firefighting role. You’ll be working in a unique environment where prevention, protection and emergency response all come together to support Defence capability.

Your role will include:

Responding to incidents and helping restore safety quickly and effectively
Working closely with a professional emergency response team in a high-performing, safety-critical environment
Carrying out fire prevention and protection activities to reduce risk across Defence sites
Supporting targeted safety campaigns that help protect people, equipment and infrastructure

You’ll be part of a modern Fire and Rescue Service that is shaping the future of firefighting within Defence, supported by significant investment in state-of-the-art equipment, including new firefighting vehicles, and advanced scenario-based training at the Fire Service College.

Everything you do will directly contribute to keeping people safe and ensuring that Defence operations can continue without disruption.

Training and development

You’ll receive full training over 14 weeks , Monday to Friday, at the Fire Service College in Moreton-in-Marsh .

We’ll cover the cost of your training, including accommodation and travel , so you can focus on learning, building confidence and preparing for the role.

We welcome applications from both experienced firefighters and those who are completely new to the fire and rescue service .

Eligible candidates may also be considered for the:

Operational Firefighter Level 3 Apprenticeship

A paid, earn-while-you-learn route into a long-term career in fire and rescue.

What we’re looking for

We’re interested in people who can bring the right qualities to the role, including:

A good level of physical fitness (we’ll support you to prepare for the required fitness assessments, including bleep test, ladder and confined space drills)
Strong teamwork and the ability to support others
Clear communication skills
The ability to stay calm and make decisions under pressure
The right to work in the UK and ability to obtain Security Clearance
A willingness to complete academic (English/Maths) and situational/behavioural assessments if required

What’s in it for you

Salary of £30,954 , rising to £34,823 once full competence is achieved following successful completion of the recruit course and development portfolio
23 days’ holiday, rising to 27, plus the option to buy additional leave
Auto-enrolment pension, life assurance, cycle-to-work scheme and enhanced family leave
Lifestyle benefits including retail, travel and wellbeing discounts
A paid volunteering day and access to inclusive employee networks
