We are committed to the recruitment of employees with the appropriate level of Welsh Language skills to provide services to the public and support employees who wish to learn Welsh or improve their Welsh in order to use it in the workplace.

To ensure the Service meets the Welsh Language requirements, employees will be required to achieve at least level 2 Welsh speaking and listening skills by the end of their probationary period, unless the role is advertised as being a level 4, where fluency in the Welsh language is required upon appointment. Each job vacancy advertised will state the level of Welsh language skills required.

North Wales Fire and Rescue Service recognise that for some individuals the above attainments may be challenging. The Service provides support and assistance to individuals to reach the required Welsh language levels. Further information about our commitment to the Welsh language can be found on the Welsh Language page.
