Written by Apprentice Business Safety Advisor Laura Broughton
My name is Laura, I am one of the six new Business Safety Advisors and I work with the Protection team at Bolton Fire Station. Eleven other apprentices and I will be sharing our stories with you throughout the next twelve months. This year we have six more Community Safety Advisor Apprentices alongside a newly created position which like me are Business Safety Advisor Apprentices.
Our journey started in February, where we all very nervously turned up to our training centre in Manchester. We were given basic training about the fire service for the following few weeks and handed our very own fire service uniform accompanied by some very shiny shoes. One thing that will stick in my mind is something one of the apprentices said on the second day. One of our Business Safety Advisors voiced his excitement exclaiming,
“I’m extremely proud to be able to part of the organisation and even more so to wear this badge on my chest.”
From then we have all settled into our positions on our own stations. All the apprentices attend The Manchester College on a Friday to complete our Level 2 qualification. Although we are off station everyone gets really excited to hear what each other has been up to and it is a great opportunity to catch up with everyone.
