My name is Michael and I have recently started an apprenticeship as a Community Safety Advisor with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service. I have been stationed at Manchester Central Fire Station, which is an amazing borough and located next to the fire service’s training centre therefore I’m in a very good location to work.
Before this apprenticeship I completed the Prince’s Trust programme with Manchester team 27. It was an incredible experience and it helped me in so many ways. The course opened me up to a variety of opportunities and enabled me to take part in life changing experiences acquiring many qualifications and memories along the way.
My first involvement with Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service started a few years back when I completed a week’s work experience with the admin team. I have always been interested in the fire service but never thought of it as a career choice until I saw an advertisement for the Prince’s Trust and I thought it could be a foot in the door to the Service.
Throughout my time with GMFRS I have benefited from all the support that I have been given from so many different people, even those that don’t know me. To me GMFRS feels like a giant family which I am now part of – everyone looks after each other, takes care of each other and are very welcoming. My aspirations within the organisation are to one day be a Firefighter.
However, for now I shall keep working hard, standing tall and being proud that I am part of GMFRS and I’m lucky enough to wear the crest upon my chest.
