Our People and our Culture
Our aim is for all of us to be engaged with both our work and our Charity, and to enable and empower each of us to contribute to supporting the fire family to always be at their best. Working with our values and behaviours in mind, we will create a great experience at work for everyone. Our values reflect who we are and how we do things. We all have a personal responsibility to remain credible, genuine and consistent with our values. By modelling them we can influence others to demonstrate them too. Our values will be reflected in all our working practices and interactions, and in how we recruit and develop our people.
