"I wish I'd applied earlier. There's always something new to learn and training to go on."

“I wanted to give back to my community, but I also wanted challenge myself. I had always kind of just got by, so I really wanted to step it up a few notches.”
“The recruitment process was well organized; I applied and had a phone call a few days later inviting me to a taster day. Following this, I proceeded with the recruitment process and had training days put into place to help with the upcoming physical and written exams. As someone who doesn’t do very well in exam conditions, I was worried how I’d perform, however I quickly realised I needn’t be. We were more than prepared and sailed through.”

"What I enjoy most about my role is how each incident I attend, it's different - no job is the same."
