London is one of the most diverse cities in the world and we want our workforce to reflect this diversity. We want people from all backgrounds who can do the job, regardless of race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, faith or religion and age. This brings with it a responsibility to treat each other with fairness and respect.
We are actively encouraging more women and people from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities to think about firefighting as a career and hold targeted open days at designated weekends throughout the year. These one day events give potential women and BME trainee firefighters the opportunity to explore the role, find out more information about the selection process and meet existing firefighters and staff from our recruitment team. Note: application forms are not given out at the open days.
If you’d like to attend, please email dawne.stephenson@london-fire.gov.uk with your full name, address and any contact numbers.
Diverse experiences gives personal accounts of staff from different cultures and groups, and those who have attended our open days. The current profile shows Stephen-remell Coleman aka Controversy rapping for recruitment as he releases a rap to mark LFB's recruitment week.
We are committed to providing a fair, safe and harmonious working environment for all our staff, regardless of their sexual orientation. We are always striving to maintain and improve our services to ensure that we continue to be at the forefront of best practice.
