Working in Youth Interventions

The Youth Interventions team is the West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue service specialist youth team. The experienced youth trainers work alongside operational firefighters, district teams, and partners across all 5 districts to make West Yorkshire safer.

They deliver a wide range of practical programs and educational interventions to young people, most likely to use or instigate the use of blue light services at some point in their lives.

The programs and interventions they deliver aim to increase a young person’s safety knowledge and inspire behaviour change, social responsibility and help young people develop skills for their future.

Testimonials

Profile Icon
Claire Greenwood
Youth Interventions Trainer

"As a Youth Intervention Trainer promoting positive behaviour changes, it is rewarding to see the young people we work with making different choices, displaying more resilience, and identifying future goals. 

Through being able to work with young people to think more positively about their community and their actions within it, we can promote the role of the emergency services and challenge negative stereotypes that may be held. The role of a Youth Interventions Trainer means we engage with a broad range of young people with varying needs and backgrounds, encouraging the development of skills such as communication, resilience, and teamwork. We help keep West Yorkshire safer by working with young people to challenge Anti-Social Behaviour and increase awareness of deliberate fire setting and safer road use."
