GROUP MANAGER PROCESS

We are delighted to announce that our Group Manager process is now open.

We are looking for candidates who have a proven outstanding leadership ability, who role model our Values and have the Core Code of Ethics at the heart of what they do.

We want candidates to have experience in leading effective teams through periods of change and achieving high performance, demonstrating a person-centred approach to leadership, and understanding what it takes to lead our journey towards being an ’Outstanding’ organisation.

There is a great opportunity to be the future leaders of our Service and we want applicants to show an enthusiasm, ambition, and absolute commitment to putting our communities first.

If you have experience at Station Manager level, or are currently serving as a Group Manager, we can offer you the opportunity to make the most of your leadership abilities, unlock your full potential, and influence the way that we deliver services to the people of Nottinghamshire.

Applicants are required to be currently competent at Incident Command Level 2 and hold or are working towards, a management qualification at Level 5 or above.

HMICFRS recently graded us as ‘Good’ across ten of the eleven assessment areas and we have a strong ambition to be an ‘Outstanding’ Service as part of our continuous improvement. If you think you have what it takes to be part of this exciting journey, then we would love to hear from you.

If you would like an informal, confidential conversation about the role and opportunities in NFRS, then please arrange this with Assistant Chief Fire Officer, Damien West by emailing Lea-Anne.Abbiss@notts-fire.gov.uk
