Public Services The Uniformed Public Services Sector is made up of many professions that protect and serve the population around the world. From rescuing climbers as part of the Mountain Rescue team, being deployed in the army as a medic or attending a crash site as a paramedic, police officer or fireman on the motorway, the professions are highly trained and ready for active service in many types of emergencies. Many of the public services lecturers have been in active duty across the uniformed public services, using their expert knowledge and experience to engage students and make them aware of available opportunities. The department runs educational visits across the country to highlight the breadth of possible careers available in the uniformed public services, providing students with our ethos of ‘more than just an education’.
