Volunteer and make a difference to your community

Do you have some spare time? Are you over the age of 18? Do you want to make a difference where you live or work in Northamptonshire?

We’re looking for people to join our Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service community volunteers scheme to help throughout the county. As a volunteer you will meet new people, develop your existing skills and broaden your knowledge of the fire service and its role in the wider community.

The scheme has a number of volunteering opportunities enabling our frontline colleagues to focus on public safety and patient care.
