Why be a Heritage Ambassador

If you enjoy interacting with others and have a desire to share the history of firefighting from its beginning through to our modern-day service you’ll fit right in! We are committed to providing the best possible experience for everyone who gives their time with a view to helping us share our rich and interesting history. In addition to a supportive and encouraging environment, the unique opportunity to support the Museum of Scottish Fire Heritage and the wider Scottish Fire and Rescue Service community, you will gain:

• Training and support to develop as an integral part of our team
• Opportunity to develop your transferable skills
• Useful experience whilst undertaking meaningful projects and responsibilities
• Spend time doing something you enjoy and meet others with similar interests
