Direct Entry program candidate assessment

Tender description

The National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) is continuing to develop a model to support suitable and skilled leaders, without previous fire service experience, to move into operational roles at station and area manager within the fire sector. The NFCC is working on behalf of several Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) across the county adopting the Direct Entry Programme within their service but is seeking a more innovative, independent, and diverse approach to the traditional Fire Service assessment. Therefore, the NFCC wish to engage with an external provider using occupational psychologists to evaluate candidates' performance and suitability remotely before progressing them to the next stage of the Direct Entry process.
