Scott Maclellan

I am a dedicated, hardworking, and adaptable individual seeking to begin a career as a Whole Time Firefighter. Over the past eight years I have worked as a Personal Trainer, helping people from different backgrounds & with different beliefs, improve their health, resilience, and confidence through constant support & education. This role has required excellent communication skills, empathy, and the ability to motivate and support others in achieving their goals. These are qualities that I believe are essential within the fire and rescue service.

Prior to this, I gained valuable experience working in Aldi for two years as a Store Assistant, where I learned the importance of efficiency, teamwork, keeping to strict time schedules and delivering high standards in a fast paced environment, ensuring all customers were treated equally and enjoyed their experience. Before that, I worked as a chef for seven years at Royal Troon Golf Club, a role that required discipline, stamina, and the ability to stay calm under pressure while working as part of a team. Across all of these roles I have demonstrated reliability, good time keeping, resilience, and a strong work ethic.

I am drawn to the role of Firefighter because it combines my desire to serve the community with my commitment to fitness, teamwork, and continuous personal development. I am confident in my ability to remain calm and focused in challenging and stressful situations, assess risks quickly, and act decisively to protect both my team and the public.

I believe that my background demonstrates the transferable skills, determination, and physical capability required to thrive in this role, and I am committed to developing further through training to ensure I meet the highest standards expected of a Firefighter.
