The programmes will be delivered to cohorts of students and will provide an experience of working within a modern fire and rescue service. Successful students will gain an insight into many key areas of Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, which includes: our educational platforms, community and business engagement to prevent and protect, along with an insight into operational training and much more.  To see what the week may look like, see the work experience programme example document.

The programmes will take place primarily at Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service, Sadler Road, Winsford, CW7 2FQ, and at, Safety Central, Cliff Lane, Lymm, Warrington, WA13 0TE. However, it may also involve visiting other sites across Cheshire.

Students would be responsible for their own travel to and from the locations.
