Job description

Fire Safety Intervention (FSI) Practitioner – South Wales Fire & Rescue Service

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service are seeking a committed and resilient FSI Practitioner to join our Community Safety and Partnerships Department. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children and young people. You will play a vital role in delivering structured interventions, building positive relationships, and working collaboratively with external agencies to ensure the best outcomes for those you support.

In this role, you will be responsible for planning and delivering interventions tailored to individual needs, supporting young people including those who may display challenging behaviour. Safeguarding and child protection will be central to your work; you will also maintain accurate and confidential records using electronic systems, and promote equality, diversity, and inclusion.

The successful candidate will demonstrate a willingness to undertake required in-house and external training. While a relevant qualification in youth work, education, or social care is desirable, it is not essential. More importantly, you will bring experience of working with children and young people, a strong understanding of safeguarding and child protection, and the ability to manage confidential information responsibly. Experience of partnership working with external agencies is essential, and knowledge of fire safety risk reduction or community safety would be an advantage.
