Fire and rescue service Summer Internship Scheme

Published: 18 February 2025

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service (RBFRS) is now accepting applications from young people in Berkshire to join the service’s Summer Internship Scheme.

The internship aims to encourage 18-year-olds from backgrounds which are underrepresented within the service to explore some of the many roles available to them in the fire and rescue sector.

Each intern will have the opportunity to gain valuable real-world work experience and transferable skills working alongside teams within the service. During the scheme, the interns will also participate in learning and development workshops, as well as visiting several fire stations across Berkshire.

The service is looking for four interns to join the scheme for five weeks in the summer, from Thursday 4 July to Friday 9 August. As part of the internship, each successful applicant will be paid an hourly wage of £10.66.

The deadline for applications is 11.59pm on Sunday 2 March 2025.
