Amy Palmer

With 12 years of experience at Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, I have developed extensive knowledge in fire safety while working across various teams. I am known for my commitment, reliability, and diligence, and I have honed a broad range of skills by supporting different departments within the service. My excellent interpersonal skills enable me to work effectively both independently and as part of a team. Dedicated to personal development, I have recently gained a Level 4 Certificate in Fire Safety and an Advanced Professional Certificate in Legal Skills in Investigation. I am currently working towards gaining a Level 4 Diploma in Fire Safety.

I am a trained Mental Health First Aider, providing initial support and guidance to colleagues experiencing mental health challenges, and signposting to appropriate professional resources. This enables me to promote a positive workplace culture by recognising early signs of stress or mental health issues, offering confidential assistance, and encouraging wellbeing initiatives.

• I enjoy learning Spanish in my spare time, participating in fitness classes, and traveling whenever possible. In 2006, I travelled to Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, Fiji, New Zealand and Australia. I visited schools and local businesses and stayed with host families. This was a fantastic opportunity that allowed me to gain an understanding of different cultures.
